They cut the internet so they could machine gun people, not stop them from ordering DoorDash.

Not sure they do tbh, I think they would machine gun them even with internet, it's more about stopping them from organising.

Yes, but cutting off internet access to the entire country typically makes machine gunning much more efficient (due to organizing being made much more difficult for the people) and much less costly in terms of the global outcry and reputation.

Where is your evidence of that?

They did just after the protest started, and there is no evidence that's actually happening but it's kind of the point since we are not receiving information from Iran since the government blocked them out from the internet

This is the third uprising. They have so far followed the same recipe. People raise up. Internet is turned off. People are arrested and killed by the authorities. They are using the death penalty to teach the Iranians that raising up will get you killed.

While I dislike trumpism, I do hope that the Iranian authorities will get bombed. They deserve to die for how they treat their own people.

Where is their evidence that the internet was cut to prevent evidence from disseminating?

The Farsi text in the tweet says: "we knew that since four days ago but we haven't had any visual proof until now"

The Farsi text in the photo is a message from a civilian saying machine guns are in the streets.

The bit were the death toll was 70 after a week of protests, then the internet was cut and in 3 days it’s closer to 2,000.
