Well, the internet is not national anymore (for now!), but isn't Google AI Mode US only?
Anyway, the only google service that did work at that time was google search as far as I know nothing else worked (no gmail, maps, etc.).
- alephnerd 1y agoAh - I didn't realize Google AI Mode is US Only! > the only google service that did work at that time was google search as far as I know nothing else worked (no gmail, maps, etc.) Yea, sounds like they resorted to a hard whitelist. How were other Internet services impacted in Iran? My understanding is payment is increasingly tap-to-pay or via digital wallets within Iran? How was that impacted during the shutdown?
- hexomancer 1y agoWell, Iran is sanctioned as fuck, so no global payment system works in Iran anyway. All the payment systems used by Iranians are local so they work even in national internet.
- alephnerd 1y agoYep! What I meant was during the recent conflict, was the domestic payment system working? How brittle or robust was it during that, especially given that my understanding is that Iran has transitioned to a cashless society?
- hexomancer 1y agoYes, it was working at least in my experience.
