An Iranian parliamentarian recently suggested using facial recognition technology to crack down on internal unrest. What are #Iranian AI capabilities and how do they intersect with ongoing #MahsaAminii Protests? A thread: #IranProtests 1/6
Arab uprisings were sparked by a man, Mohamed Bouazizi, who set himself on fire and sparked revolutions & uprisings in the region that have stumbled & remain incomplete. Here now are Iranian women reigniting our revolutionary hearts w/the feminism those Arab uprisings lacked.
Iran is not an Arab country but here come the women there to take up the baton, not by self-immolation but by setting alight a tool of their Patriarchy; a tool many other women in the countries around Iran recognize all too well. feministgiant.com/p/essay-women-…
My essay on the feminist revolution in Iran is a kind of continuation from my essay of 10 years ago about the need for a feminist revolution in the Arabic-speaking countries of the Mideast & NAfrica feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-10…
When I heard that #MahsaAmini, a Kurdish woman in Iran, died after being in the custody of the “morality police” who'd taken her in because she wasn't wearing a “proper hijab” I thought of other female lives sacrificed on the altar of a piece of cloth feministgiant.com/p/essay-women-…
I thought of the 15 girls who died in a school fire in Saudi Arabia, in 2002, after “morality police” in that country barred them from fleeing the burning building—and kept firefighters from rescuing them—because the girls weren't wearing headscarves & cloaks required in public
No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced. The only concession to the horror was that girls’ education was quietly taken away from the Salafi zealots washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…
Glory and power to the women in Iran who have seized the narrative and become object and subject. #MahsaAmini #JinJiyanAzadi
Glory and power to the women in Iran for serving us this challenge: If women (and men) in one of the most perfect police states are this unscared, then what are you doing to fight your oppressors? feministgiant.com/p/essay-women-… #MahsaAmini #JinJiyanAzadi
As you watch the glory and power of the feminist revolution in Iran right now, ask yourself (I’m looking at you people in the U.S. cheering on the feminist revolution against theocrats over there) what the fuck you are doing to fight theocrats and fascists over here. #MahsaAminii
7 reasons why #Starlink_for_Iran is not helping now!!!

To use Starlink, you need special equipment with a sat antenna. It is only good for stationary reception. In 🇮🇷 however, the mobile internet is shut-down so that people cannot use their smartphones to report from the streets. The benefit of Starlink is nearly zero...(2/8)
So every #Starlink_for_Iran user needs new equipment. It means, an existing smartphone or router is not enough. Starlink is not a technology for the millions of Iranians. Even if you take into account that the internet is shared via WiFi, which can be dangerous. (3/8)
