Zarepour: The figures mentioned regarding the impact of closing a foreign platform on the digital economy are not expert opinions.
The Minister of Communications and Information Technology stated that given the restricted access to certain foreign platforms, which has been implemented based on security authorities’ decisions, our utmost effort during this period has been to provide the necessary infrastructure to maintain communication for all people and facilitate their businesses in the virtual space.
The policy of the Ministry of Communications is for domestic platforms to reach a level of quality and capability such that even if foreign platforms are reopened, they can compete with them and attract users’ attention.
For us, even a single business affected by these recent security decisions is important, but the figures mentioned about the impact of closing a foreign platform on the digital economy are not expert opinions, and it is necessary for relevant institutions to provide an accurate assessment of this issue.
A diverse support package for the development of online businesses has been approved by the government, and its details will be announced soon.
