The Trump administration has awarded Palantir a no-bid contract to build an AI system intended to prevent "SNAP fraud," among other things.
The no-bid contract is for the implementation of the National Farm Security Action Plan and includes "security checks" on SNAP applicants.

I'm signing out for the holidays here. It's been a long time since I've had a year to remember in terms of research #publications but this year, after virtually nothing for 2-3 years, I had 4 pieces come out, all fully #OpenAccess.. Here is a threaded list for those interested. #AcademicSky 1/6

Raw ASN-level data from I2P Metrics shows this collapse clearly — even the largest providers like AS197207 and AS58224 went dark.
Note: I2P Metrics hides or put together ASNs with <20 I2P routers to preserve privacy.

This wasn’t a gradual decline. Iran’s I2P router count fell off a cliff:
🗓️ June 13: 1,496 routers
🗓️ June 18: 209 routers
🗓️ June 19–20: 0 routers
This aligns with a coordinated disruption across multiple Iranian networks. Prior to these days, 🇮🇷 ranked 2nd (only after🇺🇸)

We observed a sharp drop in I2P router presence in Iran beginning June 13, 2025.
On that day, there were 1,496 active routers.
By June 18, this fell to just 209.
And by June 19–20, there were no routers visible from Iran.

Interesting observations about @geti2p.bsky.social access disruptions in Iran — I’d like to add to this based on measurements from i2p-metrics.np-tokumei.net, a system I built several years ago to collect I2P Metrics, supported by @opentechfund.bsky.social
Here’s what the 🇮🇷 Iran data shows:

If you ❤️ #I2P I will be at #Rightscon next week to talk about all things transports, networks, building digital resistance & encryption! Also, how internet fragmentation is a much broader & nuanced topic than how it is being presented.
