🔺Minister of Communications: The recent internet outages caused 67 trillion tomans in damage to the digital economy

▪The Minister of Communications and Information Technology says that during the recent war, internet outages caused more than 67 thousand billion tomans in direct damage and reduced revenue for the information technology and communications sector and the digital economy.

▪The Islamic Republic, to keep widespread and bloody suppression of the people’s protests in Dey hidden, cut off the internet for three weeks, and then during the war and even after the ceasefire agreement, also kept the internet unavailable to the public for three months.

▪However, Sattar Hashemi says that as the internet shutdowns lasted longer, more evidence emerged of its secondary effects on the digital economy, education, research, public services, businesses, and even governance in cyberspace.
