Iran's digital strategy: Step 1) Tell everyone to delete WhatsApp (claims it shares data with Israel, provides zero evidence) Step 2) Cut off internet so they can't actually delete it. Modern problems require... confusing solutions? 🤔

The internet shutdown during the recent protests, which led to the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, was directed by Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
Chairman Md Mohiuddin Ahmed with the verbal instructions of former state minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak, according to a probe report.
The report prepared by the seven-member committee formed on July 11 to investigate the internet shutdown revealed the information.
The shutdown of mobile internet from July 15-16 this year and broadband internet from July 18-23 and again on August 5 was carried out under the verbal instructions of Palak with BTRC chairman giving the order, according to a press release from the post and telecom ministry.
The report also said that the shutdown and subsequent restoration of mobile internet from July 17-28 and on August 5 were directed by the National Telecommunication Monitoring Centre (NTMC) under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The preliminary investigation found no connection between the fire at the data centre and the internet shutdown.
The report concluded that that former state minister misled the nation by falsely linking the data centre fire to the internet shutdown.

The recent internet disruptions in Bangladesh have now ended, and just an hour ago, the advisor of the interim government took the oath of office. I've shut down all public proxy servers I was running since regular VPNs like ProtonVPN are functioning fine now. I'll also be shutting down my Akkoma instance at social.mitexleo.one, as I've transitioned to using Mastodon.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to work full-time, part-time, or take on any freelance jobs due to my college exams and the need to prepare for university admissions. This means I'll have to minimize my living expenses, and I won't have any income for at least the next 4-5 months. However, I'll continue to run our public Fediverse instance, buddyverse.one, for as long as possible.
My personal instance also needs an upgrade, as I'm getting a lot of interaction from you all—boosts, likes, and replies! Both my Akkoma and Mastodon instances see CPU and RAM usage spike to 100% when this happens since I'm running on a $5 Linode plan. The current cost for running my Mastodon instance is $10/month (Nanode + Linode Object Storage), and for Buddyverse.one, it's just $5/month. This is a significant reduction from the more than $100/month I used to spend!
I plan to operate a proxy and VPN server again soon. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported me financially and inspired me to fight against censorship in Bangladesh during these challenging times. I'll be forever grateful to you all. 💛
I also plan to work for the poor, minorities, and those who need our help in the future. The Fediverse has truly transformed my life—I’ve never had so much meaningful discussion or interaction, even offline, let alone on Facebook or Twitter. I know I act dumb sometimes, and I ask for your forgiveness for that. Please don't hesitate to let me know if I ever do something wrong or hurt you in any way. I'm open to change.
