US Condemns Iranian Regime’s Plan to Restrict Internet
The United States Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor condemned the Iranian regime’s proposed bill that allegedly claims to “protect internet users” but will actually further restrict the access of Iranians to the internet.
The US State Department tweeted on March 25: “Iran’s proposed bill to protect users aims to further limit Internet access, increasing censorship and restricting free speech online. We continue to urge the Iranian government to allow its citizens to exercise their right to freedom of expression and to freely access information.”
