While Ibrahim Raisi's government is known for broadening online censorship in Iran, Khazali’s son emigrated to Canada and created a company that sells virtual private networks (VPNs), which many Iranians use to bypass state censorship of the Internet. Khazali herself is an advocate of limiting Iranians' access to the Internet. [9] [10]
