L’Iran avait bloqué il y a deux ans l’application de messagerie après les manifestations déclenchées par la mort en détention de Mahsa Amini, une jeune femme arrêtée pour avoir enfreint le code vestimentaire strict.
This article reports on the Iranian Supreme Council of Cyberspace's decision to lift the ban on WhatsApp, imposed in 2022 after Mahsa Amini's death sparked widespread protests. The decision aligns with President Pezeshkian's campaign promise to ease internet restrictions, despite some political opposition. Essentially, the main idea is that Iran is moving to relax its internet restrictions by allowing WhatsApp access again following public outcry and a shift in political leadership.
