Hey everyone,
If you’ve been following my work—whether from my Telegram channel back in the day, or more recently here on the blog—you know this isn’t just a hobby. It’s a commitment.
For years, I’ve been digging into stories that don’t always make headlines. Stories about cyber surveillance, digital repression, and the hidden systems used to monitor, manipulate, and control—especially in Iran. It’s the kind of work that takes time, energy, and, honestly, a lot of stubbornness.
Now, I’m launching something new: 👉 https://vip.narimangharib.com/
This is a dedicated space for the people who want to go deeper.
Why VIP?
Some things I write are just too sensitive or niche to publish openly. And to keep doing this work seriously—and independently—I need a way to make it sustainable.
So the VIP site is where I’ll be publishing:
Investigations that won’t go on the public blog
- Early access to major findings and reports
- More technical deep-dives and analysis
- Thoughts I’d rather not post publicly—for safety or other reasons
Not Paywalling Everything
Let me be clear: this blog will stay free and open. Always. The public still needs access to critical information, and I’m not changing that.
VIP is just an extra layer—for those who want to support my work and get access to more detailed content.
Journalists Get Free Access
If you're a journalist working on related topics and want to access the VIP content, you can. There’s a simple process to request free access. No paywall for the people doing the reporting that matters.
Why This Matters
This isn’t a big commercial project. It’s just me, doing what I can, with what I have. And honestly, even one subscriber can make a difference. It tells me the work matters. It keeps this going.
If you’ve found value in what I’ve shared here, and you want to see more, I hope you’ll check out the VIP site. You’ll be helping me keep the lights on—and keep digging.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for being here.
