Protests spur Internet disruptions in Iran

What's this blog post about?

Protests have erupted across Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody. In response to these protests, Iran has restricted internet connectivity and blocked social media platforms. The government's actions have resulted in significant drops in internet traffic, with some regions experiencing near-zero connectivity for several hours. Additionally, access to DNS-over-HTTPS from open resolver services has been reportedly blocked. Internet users can monitor the impact of these disruptions using Cloudflare Radar and follow updates on Twitter at @CloudflareRadar.
