Pretty sure North Korea does not have internet.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 32 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

They absolutely have internet.

It's just state controlled. So basically a national child safety lock. But they 100% have access the internet.

A nationwide intranet isn't internet.

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works -5 points 14 hours ago

They do not. They have intranet. No access to oversea servers.

Some may do, but that's obviously not for 99% of people.

Would they be able to also block or detect i2p traffic?

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 9 points 18 hours ago

I2P traffic isn't that difficult to detect or block, mainly because bootstrapping a node requires connecting to known reseed servers. They can block those reseed servers and your node would never be able to connect to the network.

Oh they certainly do and pop up in our hosting logs. The main one is a /22, so not very large at all, like a small ISP

Certain people in Iran also can access the internet to hack Western infrastructure, etc.

By your logic Iran's internet hasn't been blacked out either because politicians there can still post announcements on Twitter.

[–] uenticx@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

We weren't talking about Iran? All infrastructure is hacked on a daily basis, weird propaganda post though.

It does but not for ordinary citizens. And it wouldnt be a shutdown since the Internet isn't normally available.

What else are you pretty sure about?
