Recent reports ke mutabiq, late 2025 protests ke baad Iranian authorities ne demonstrators ko track karne ke liye phones seize nahi kiye โ bas telecom data ka use kiya. Sirf kisi protest location par phone ka present hona hi kaafi tha identification ke liye.
Ye system ek naam se operate karta hai: SIAM (Subscriber Identity and Activity Monitoring) โ ek centralized platform jo telecom infrastructure ke andar hi embedded hai.
Iska role?
Monitor karna.
Record karna.
Aur zarurat pade toh control bhi karna.
๐ก Surveillance ka naya model
System reportedly allow karta hai:
Real-time location tracking
Call records & browsing logs access
SIM suspension ya network throttling
Device activity mapping at scale
Yeh sirf data collection nahi hai โ yeh behavioral pressure architecture hai.
Facial recognition + telecom logs + social media scraping combine hote hain. Phir immediate arrest nahi hoti. Kabhi weeks baad action hota hai. Purpose? Psychological impact.
๐ง Vitalik Buterin ka core point
Vitalik Buterin ne is issue par ek important angle raise kiya:
Problem sirf โdystopianโ label nahi hai.
Real issue hai power imbalance.
Agar surveillance + automation itne strong ho jayein ke state ko sirf chhoti si controlling group ki zarurat ho governance maintain karne ke liye โ toh political opposition practically impossible ho jati hai.
Yeh technology dictatorship ko efficient bana deti hai.
๐ Infrastructure ka global dimension
Reports suggest ke Iran ke National Information Network model ko build karne mein external telecom technology suppliers ka bhi role raha.
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), encrypted app throttling, telecom-level filtering โ yeh tools geographically limited nahi hote. Jo ek jagah deploy hota hai, woh dusri jagah export bhi ho sakta hai.
Isliye debate sirf Iran tak limited nahi hai.
Yeh global digital governance ka issue hai.
๐จ Bigger Question
Mass surveillance technically possible hai โ yeh ab theoretical baat nahi.
Ab asli sawal yeh hai:
Kya privacy ek optional feature rahegi?
Ya future mein basic digital rights ko border ke upar treat kiya jayega?
Crypto aur decentralized tech communities ke liye yeh sirf ideology ka topic nahi โ yeh long-term structural challenge hai.
๐ Technology neutral hoti hai.
Use karne wala decide karta hai ke woh empowerment ka tool banegi ya control ka.
