It is becoming increasingly difficult for any government to cut a whole country off from the internet. Constellations such as OneWeb and Starlink are making satellite connectivity as universal, affordable and difficult to shut down as satellite TV.

Amir Rashidi was arrested in #Tehran on New Year’s Day in 2009, swept into a security van with fourteen others.

Inside, other detainees scrambled to call friends, asking them to scrub their names from any public writing, anything that might be considered criminal to the regime.

Amir did not make that call. When asked why, he answered without thinking.

“I’m an internet guy,” he said.

At the time, he insists, it wasn’t bravery. It was instinct, shaped by years of moving between activist circles and writing code, by an understanding of how information traveled and how quickly it could disappear.
