Every individual deserves the freedom to explore the potential of the Internet, free from unnecessary restrictions. I'm starting this petition driven by a deep personal passion and ambition to see my fellow Iranians enjoy the same digital freedoms that many around the world take for granted. It's time to unfilter the Iranian people's internet and let them enjoy gaming and all forms of digital entertainment without barriers.

The internet is not just a utility, but a fundamental tool for personal growth, learning, and entertainment. For many, gaming is more than just a hobby; it’s a way to connect with others globally, relieve stress, and to foster a sense of community. However, Iranians face constant internet filtering, which severely restricts our ability to participate in these global gaming communities and enjoy other digital activities. This filtering not only limits personal enjoyment but also stymies potential professional growth in the tech and creative industries, where countries like Iran can greatly benefit from talented individuals.

Moreover, the digital economy is a growing sector that offers unparalleled opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, and self-expression. Internet restrictions stifle innovation and prevent Iranians from contributing to and benefiting from this booming economy. Allowing Iranians access to a full, unrestricted internet can open doors for young tech startups, provide educational resources, and enable artists and creatives to showcase their talents on a global stage.

According to Internet World Stats 2022, nearly 94% of Iran's population uses the internet. This illustrates the critical role the internet plays in our daily lives and highlights the need for unfiltered access. Despite the high internet penetration rate, pervasive filtering systems limit bandwidth and block access to countless websites and online platforms, frustrating daily activities and social interactions.

We call on international bodies, tech companies, and digital rights organizations to put pressure on the authorities to lift these restrictions. Cooperation at a global level can push forward initiatives aimed at ensuring internet freedom. We must also appeal to humanitarian and tech organizations to support circumvention tools that can bypass these filters, ensuring freedom and opportunity for all Iranian citizens.

Join us in this effort to guarantee a digital future where every Iranian can explore, learn, and enjoy without restriction.
