The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in Iran has ignited the most powerful protests the country has seen in years. Authorities there have rolled out a host of new tools to throttle mobile phone connections, block social media sites, and make it harder for people on the ground to organize. OurĀ Click Here team spoke to one manĀ who has been protesting since Aminiās death was announced, and he talked to us about the dangers of using social media and technology while participating in street demonstrations. He asked us not to use his real name because speaking to foreign reporters could get him arrested.Ā Amin talked with us about getting around internet restrictions, the dangers of using social media in Iran, and how protesters handle their passwords.
Our interview with him has been edited and condensed for clarity.
