It gives me such hope for their future but I’m sure it won’t be long before the regime orders them to just start firing into the crowd.

So what does signal do? Is it general internet access or some sort of communication app?

Its a communication app that I think immediately or near-immediately erases messages and is much harder to track than standard messaging.

A lot of organizers and journalists use it. It's pretty easy to see the utility in Iran right now

This is so surreal to see this happening in Iran. I thought the regime had a major strangle hold. I hope this leads to something liberating for the country rather than mass incarceration.

It's an end-to-end encrypted messaging app based on an open-source messaging protocol. The messages don't have to be erased, you can set the disappearance or lack thereof when you send a message. Of course the person you're sending a message to can always just screenshot the message but that's a problem with everything.

Signal is tied to your phone number, that is the phone number is used as the contact handle. So like when you use signal to text someone else you need their phone number, and vice versa.

IDK anything about the tracking part, but that could be true.

I've been following this closely for the past few days. It is difficult sorting through claims since almost all independent media is, by necessity, outside of the country, but this person has been fairly reliable and is reporting this along with a few others:

He also makes the point that it has been a long time since protests included actions like throwing molotovs directly at regime forces. Godspeed to them.

I don't understand how it's supposed to work. As far as I understand it starlink needs a satellite dish for the end user (good luck getting those into Iran unless they're already there), and also ground stations to tie into the traditional telecom network (so good luck having the powers that be allow that).

As other posters have noted, the Starlink kit is slightly larger than a big shoe box.

Also the satellites have about a 500 mile range from the ground stations, which easily puts Baghdad and Kuwait within range, and the Ayatollah Assahola isn't stopping the feed from a US military base
