Internet connectivity in Iran is now in a near-complete shutdown, down about 98% vs the previous week. The disruption began around 07:00 UTC, following reports of military strikes — and in past incidents the government has responded with nationwide Internet shutdowns.

“Once it’s on the Internet it stays there forever” is no longer true. It’s increasingly hard, if not impossible, to find old information about niche topics using traditional search engines. We should al support open preservation projects around the world, they’re doing important public service.
