Amir Rashidi

Amir Rashidi is the Mian Group expert interviewed in 34 days without internet in Iran about Iran’s wartime internet blackout. He explains that the blackout leaves the [[NationalInformationNetwork|National Information Network]] available while cutting Iranians off from global internet services, international news, and social media.

His role in the wiki is to make the technical distinction concrete: blackout does not mean every networked service disappears. In Rashidi’s account, domestic apps can still work under state control, but Domestic Service Censorship and Internet Blackout Public-Safety Risk make that controlled access a political and public-safety problem.
