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 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.
