Scandals

While Ibrahim Raisi's government is known for broadening online censorship in Iran, son of Ensieh Khazali, emigrated to Canada and created a company that sells virtual private networks (VPNs), which many Iranians use to bypass state censorship of the Internet. Ms Khazali is an advocate of limiting Iranians' access to the Internet.^[9][10]
