This post will be more of just a vent, more of a "i want this to be heard" type of thing. Unsure if it belongs here but i'll write it either way.
Around 2 years ago, our government (i'm from iran) introduced the idea of tightening the internet. So basically they want to turn our country into north korea. they've already done things such as put a type of special police (called gasht, in english standing for "search") to look out for people who dress "unnormally", they've limited the internet by alot throughout the past like 30 years, now they just want to kill it.
I've spent my whole life online. The career path i'm pursuing (cyber sec) is internet related, the business im starting is internet related. So basically if it gets tightened, which is pretty much just cutting access from the outer world, I'll have to start from absolute 0 in life and i just cannot afford to do that. I know i shouldn't be wasting time thinking about things i cannot control but what should i actually do if this happens? the news are back and apperantely they've started. I'm still sending the linkedin connection requests, the cold email, the instagram dm, i'm still making content for my agency, still studying, but the thought of "it may all be for nothing" REALLY bothers me. its terrifying.
