An article on the BBC website states that in Tehran, ‘The internet is cut off, and ordinary citizens who do not have VPNs cannot connect to the global internet. Some people also say that buying a VPN has become very expensive.’ Which beggars my (ill-informed) question - from where are these VPNs purchased and who has control over their pricing? In this day and age social media is a vital tool in the spreading of messaging and propaganda, compare with leafleting (sp?) in conflicts past. If the Donald really wants the Iranian populace to ‘rise up’ he would be well served by increasing the possibility of spreading the message.
