You assume threats need to be made.

One doesn't get to be the head of a business in a country like Iran without being a True Believer.

I doubt there are many true believers. Most of the top brass are probably driven from sf interest. But loyalty is beyond doubt. At least until the regime is winning

It's enough to be a True Obeyer.

Iran is kind of like russia thinking about it.

Russia's trying to censor some shit too by having outside ipv4 or something (dont know what its called) blocked and basically made a large intranet

But people could still buy vps and make it work somehow

So iran and russia are similar in that sense and this kinda puts things more into balance but I am sure that % of true believers/doing for self interest might vary or something
