Thus, all messaging and social media applications operating in Iran have one year to proceed with "activity data" linked to Iranian citizens on servers in Iran, according to Reuters.

In order to comply with new regulations, companies will need to create data centers within Iran within a year, and their applications may lose a large number of users by storing data on Iranian servers.

However data on Iranian servers may not be enough, as some of the most popular messaging services such as WhatsApp, Apple's iMessage, and Telegram offer end-to-end encrypted communication meaning no one in between can read the content of messages.

Just two weeks ago, Iranian authorities arrested eight women for participating in the posting of modeling photos online, which is considered a violation of Islamic law. Women did not wear the obligatory headscarf, and so the their Instagram was shut down, along with their Facebook pages.
