Reality vs. Narrative – Starlink Free for Iran. The narrative says: “Satellite internet like Starlink is dangerous. It undermines regimes and causes instability. Governments have the right to block access for security and order.” The reality: Iran’s internet has been largely blacked out for weeks. People can’t reach family, coordinate protests, or show the world what’s happening. Yesterday, Elon Musk announced: Starlink is now free for people in Iran. But now the real story from inside (see screenshot): the regime is going door-to-door, confiscating satellite dishes and Starlink terminals – just like in the early 2000s. People are risking everything to get a message out. The narrative says: “This is interference, illegal, dangerous.” The reality: A normal person in Amsterdam with Iranian roots can now perhaps reconnect with family trapped in the dark. A dissident can post without the mullahs pulling the plug – unless they come take your dish. This is exactly what the Open Internet Manifest stands for: information and connection as a constitutional right – not a privilege controlled by regimes or corporations. The narrative wants control. Reality wants freedom. Choose reality: Support initiatives that break blackouts. Support the Open Internet Manifest for a world where no one is cut off because a regime flips a switch. Thank you, Elon – and to all Iranians: keep fighting. What internet do you want: a blackout or an open line? #RealityVsNarrative #StarlinkIran #OpenInternetManifest #OIM #IranProtests
