The plan dubbed “Cyberspace Security” doesn’t appear to be moving from Parliament, but it is actually being implemented. The issue of returning security to parliament came up again after Mehrdad Viskarmi warned parliament at a public meeting last Tuesday to drop the security plan.
In an interview with Moinuddin Saidi, one of the critics of internet restrictions in recent parliament Ilana Regarding the safe return to Parliament, he said that the item was not yet on the parliamentary agenda: “Mr. Weiss Karmi, one of the members of the joint committee, at the request of many delegates, asked a question, which Mr Kalibaf explained, but the question was removed from the agenda , Article 85 is no longer mentioned in the working group. If that is the basis for continuing to follow up and review the programme, it should be in the form of the court itself. Yes, it is not on the agenda at the moment.”
He also addressed the fact that the Deputy Speaker of Parliament informed the plan to review: “Mr Masri said we had had several expert meetings on the plan, but if it should be on the agenda, so I don’t think it’s on the agenda, except The fact that people face challenges and problems.” They have basic items in the field of livelihood and weaving. Parliament is expected to prioritize the livelihood sector, and I suspect conservation plans will be on the agenda again, bringing up sensitive issues earlier. “
But as the experience of netizens in these months has shown, Saidi further stated that the problem is that parts and parts of this plan are actually being implemented under the pretext of national conditions: “The important thing is based on Title IX.” It is unconstitutional under any circumstances. Even under the pretext of maintaining security and territorial integrity, the legitimate freedom of the people should not be restricted.
“We expect the filtered platforms to open up when the situation in the country moves away from those inflammatory conditions of the autumn,” Saidi stressed.
But there seemed to be plenty of opposition to the idea among delegates. Those who continue to defend blocking people from access, despite bans and strict filtering, make addressing cyberspace-related projects their priority.
When he had to speak as an opponent of a corrupt whistleblower’s financial scheme last Tuesday, Wescomy made another mistake and instead lobbied for security in parliament, which he did well.So he reminded Congress that it should Initiatives related to virtual spaces should be on the agenda,
Abdolreza Masri, who chaired the meeting, told them that, God forbid, we will put the public meeting on the agenda and it will be done, but at the same time, he emphasized that many tasks are handled by the cyber supreme committee. Space, it is well done, we can watch to the result.
During this period, users also saw various disturbances and effects, including filtering and outages, from the actions of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace. As Saidi said, the situation in the country provided an excuse to implement a security plan. But it’s unclear what other constraints those conditions might add, a concern for representatives like Viskarmi.
