By expanding the scope of security crimes, particularly \"corruption on Earth\" (Efsad-fil-arz), to include technological and media activities and explicitly criminalizing the use of modern communication tools like Starlink, the bill took a major step toward intensifying control over public and digital spaces and intimidating civil society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bill, finalized on July 14th, 2025, after the Guardian Council's objections were addressed, contains at least two articles that directly target freedom of expression and the right to free access to the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Article 4 says that taking part in political, cultural, media, or propaganda activities; fabricating or exaggerating damage; or producing and sharing \u201cfalse news\u201d or other content that causes public fear, division, or threatens national security can be punished with a Grade 3 prison sentence and a permanent ban from government or public service. This is unless the offense is considered \u201ccorruption on Earth,\u201d which carries harsher penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also sets penalties for sending videos, images, or information to foreign or \u201chostile\u201d media or online pages deemed harmful to national security. If these actions don\u2019t meet the threshold for more serious charges, they carry a Grade 5 prison sentence and a permanent ban from public service. Holding protests or gatherings during wartime is punishable by a Grade 4 prison sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Article 5 bans the use, transport, purchase, sale, or import of unlicensed satellite internet communication tools, such as Starlink, for personal use. Such actions are punishable by a Grade 6 discretionary prison sentence and equipment confiscation. Installing, setting up, or importing such tools for distribution is punishable by a Grade 5 discretionary prison sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these actions, if carried out with the intent to counter the state or for espionage purposes, will be subject to a Grade 4 discretionary prison sentence, provided they do not qualify as \"corruption on Earth\" or \"waging war against God.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The Same Content, Different Names<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall censorship policies of the Islamic Republic are not limited to these recent plans and bills influenced by the \"12-Day War.\" Over the past four years, various institutions have passed numerous laws and regulations to enforce a policy of silence and censorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Globally, there are four main models for how people access information online: the liberal, American, European, and Chinese approaches. The liberal model supports completely free and open access for everyone. The American model, driven by the free market, leaves questions of access and privacy to be handled between users and private companies rather than the government. The European model focuses on protecting individual rights, privacy, and personal data. The Chinese model is based on \u201cdigital sovereignty\u201d: the idea that a government should control its online space just as it controls its physical borders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the same idea that the Islamic Republic has been trying to implement for years.

The Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance was also instructed to \"develop comprehensive mechanisms for monitoring and verifying news and information published in cyberspace.\" In collaboration with the Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ministry was also required to create a \"legal documentation system to take action against uncooperative foreign platforms.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2025, the Supreme Council of Cyberspace <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khabaronline.ir\/news\/2002164\/%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%AA%D8%B5%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%A8-%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%AF%DB%8C-%D9%86%DA%AF%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86-%DA%A9%D9%86%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8C-%D9%81%D8%B6%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B2%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">passed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a similar resolution that criminalized the publication of \"fake news\" online.

It also mandated the government to \"review and revise measures to combat criminal content on domestic and foreign platforms.\" Concurrently, in February 2023, the Parliament's Judicial Commission drafted a bill proposing penalties of 10 to 15 years in prison, fines, and 5 to 10 years of social deprivation for celebrities and popular public figures who publish content that contradicts official government statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This crackdown on freedom of expression is not limited to official resolutions.
