There's multiple motives, not just counter-organization. A media blackout prevents OSINT damage analysis, much like how the IDF and CENTCOM both censor reporting of attacks on their in-theater installations.
I think the regime narrative is mostly made up by Americans what's the difference between any of the Arab countries from Iran. The only difference is they are not controlled by America. It the same bullshit narrative of promoting democracy but in reality it's just about pushing for a government no matter how bad as long as it supports US control.
Iranians are not Arabs and thousands of them got gunned down earlier this year protesting the regime. "America bad" doesn't change the fact that the Iranian people deserve a better future.
Who said 1000s of people were gunned down. The pedophile in chief says that and we are supposed to believe it the same guy that has won this war 10+ times already. Bombed and killed thousands of women and children. If you want the Iranian people to have better future remove the sanctions let them grow economically they will gain their own freedoms not the shackles you want on them in the name of your freedoms.
Chinas level of internet filtration and censorship nowhere near Iran or Russia. You just buy tourist eSIM and you're golden in China and literally everyone who wants do it.
Chinese government don't care about small percent of population accessing open internet.
I'm not from US, but China is certainly subsidize a lot of its manufacturers to capture global markets while not giving access to it's local market to western companies.
US is able to produce cars on its soil and there is no reason to give up this industry to foreign country.

They could easily just censor that, especially since a dictatorship has far more control over the media compared to democracies.
The OSINT is a bigger threat than the state media in Iran, hence the internet blackout.

How did people organize pre-Internet times though?
Through social gatherings that mostly don't exist anymore.
which is the exact same reason China bans Starlink.

FWIW NordVPN doesn't have Iran, Russia or China as their exit node.

I wonder why BYD is banned in the US. Are we afraid they'll be used to transport people to gatherings?

It's pretty sane policy.

There's something to be said if it connects (via ethernet or via hidden eSIM) Starlink to local Iranian internet - it is hard to access otherwise.
There is no doubt that CIA has access to Starlink, that's a massive amount of crucial intel right there in battlefront.
