🧵Some additional perspectives on the (limited) restoration of #Internet connectivity in #Iran on May 26: Based on request traffic to the @cloudflare.social 1.1.1.1 resolver, the rank of the .ir ccTLD has jumped from #144 on May 25 to #96 on May 28. radar.cloudflare.com/tlds/ir?date...
Cable damage has taken Digicel Haiti completely offline, as @radar.cloudflare.com shows that #Internet traffic and announced IP space all fell to zero just after 22:00 UTC (18:00 local). Similar problems occurred multiple times in 2025. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/as27... x.com/jpbrun30/sta...
Just to keep today's partial restoration of Iranian internet connectivity in perspective, please take a look at this overall timeline. Iran has a long way to go to get back to pre-Jan-8 levels of traffic volumes. #DigitalBlackOutIran
Seeing the first signs of a possible internet restoration in Iran at 12:01 UTC today. While a few networks spiked in traffic, most are still down. #DigitalBlackOutIran
Traffic data from @radar.cloudflare.com shows a rapid increase in traffic from #Iran starting ~11:00 UTC (14:30 local). Traffic from providers including #Irancell, #MCCI, and #TCI is up significantly. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir?d...
Exam season in #Iraq started today, and with it, widespread #Internet shutdowns. Connectivity was cut across multiple major ISPs between 0300-0430 UTC, though networks in the Kurdistan Region remained available. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/iq?d...

Gov’ts continue to shut down the internet during school exams, claiming it prevents cheating. There’s no evidence it works. But there’s clear evidence it violates rights + cuts people off from essential services. Here’s what’s on our watch list for 2026 🔽 www.accessnow.org/campaign/no-...
