I always hear people say Iran has a significant amount of freedom-loving and mostly moderate people living there (for ex as seen in the green movement).
How come we haven't heard of any protest against these moves to suppress the internet?

I recently met a Jewish Iranian couple, who left Iran 10 days after their wedding, because the Iranian government confiscated their property claiming they are funding the Israeli government. They told me their neighbourhood has mostly been emptied of it's previous upper class (Muslim and Jewish) occupants in the past three years due to the baseless polemics.
It sounds like the government is doing some population shuffling to protect it's control.
While Tor is great, it's not a suitable replacement for the open internet until it gets faster.
