Iran cuts internet access over “hijab violation”

Published

on

Iranian authorities say they will restrict internet access in the country until calm is restored to the streets

Protests over the death of a young woman in the custody of the morality police continue to rock the Islamic Republic.

Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets in protest since the death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was apprehended in Tehran and taken to a “re-education center,” apparently for not wearing her hijab properly.

Amini’s death has sparked outrage among Iranian women, who have long been subject to repressive rules mandating their dress and behavior.

In recent years, the government has stepped up its enforcement of these rules, with morality police attacking women for offenses such as wearing loose headscarves or talking to men in public.

The death of Amini, who was reportedly beaten in custody, has galvanized young Iranians who are fed up with the repression they have faced for their entire lives.

In addition to taking to the streets, they are using social media to spread the word about the protests and to call for an end to the government’s oppressive policies.

It remains to be seen whether the current wave of protests will lead to lasting change in Iran. But one thing is clear: the country’s young people are no longer willing to tolerate the status quo.

Elon Musk offers stock grants worth $20 billion to Twitter employees

Published

This amount is under half what Musk purchased the social media giant for

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has offered employees stock grants worth nearly $20 billion.

The valuation is less than half of what Musk paid to buy the social media giant late last year.

Employees will start receiving their shares over the next six months, and will need to hold them for approximately a year before they can start to sell them on the stock market.

Musk revealed a few weeks ago that Twitter was on track to roughly be at cash flow break even later in the year, as advertisers start returning to the platform.

Musk has also laid off approximately 70 per cent of staff at the social media giant.
