Despite the spiraling atmosphere of silence and the organization and use of fake accounts, some prominent figures overcame this fake atmosphere with patriotism and reliance on reality.
According to Ashura News, citing Fars News Agency, it was after the events of 1401 that some female artists spoke about the atmosphere of stifling and suppressing freedom of expression by the counter-revolution. These artists spoke about the organized attacks on their virtual pages that denied any expression in defense of the homeland and also the right to speak out. For the first time, actress Linda Kiani revealed this phenomenon among celebrities on December 13, 1402, and wrote: “There are many people who are organized among the posts of me and my colleagues or other well-known figures, with a heavy onslaught of comments, trying to prevent us from speaking out. Their goal is to keep us captive in a spiral of silence.”
After her, two other actresses revealed their opinions about this same atmosphere of suppression. "Matin Sotoudeh" and "Elham Hamidi" were two other actresses who spoke about this incident. Matin Sotoudeh also reacted to this issue and stated that this environment does not allow artists to work and act, and in this regard, he wrote: "I saw some of my dear colleagues talking about insults to personalities in comments on cyberspace. Honestly, I was very upset, maybe because at this time last year, many people were going to work and their lives were going on, but many others could not even think about going to work because they were being insulted, insulted, and judged."
The Spiral of Silence theory is a political science and mass communication theory proposed by Elizabeth Noel Neumann, which states that a group or social community may isolate or ostracize members because of their beliefs. This implies that individuals fear isolation and also desire to belong to a particular human group, censor their opinions to conform to the majority, or otherwise avoid expressing and disclosing them. Now, the counter-revolution, supported by the Zionist regime, is also using artificial intelligence and fake accounts for this space of suppression of opinions. Specifically, obscene and extremist accounts of monarchists have been part of these cases. Euronews wrote about this revelation: “A joint investigation by an Israeli newspaper and an institution reveals that a significant part of the support formed in favor of Reza Pahlavi on social networks is the product of a propaganda campaign launched by the Benjamin Netanyahu government with the help of fake Persian-language accounts based in Israel.”
Now, some figures have eliminated part of this sluggish atmosphere with their activities. These people have been noticed by society in the field of their media and professional performance, as well as patriotism in cyberspace. Figures who are among the most successful Iranians, and in addition to breaking the atmosphere of sluggishness and stagnation and determining the truth from the lies, separated the fake news and media propaganda from the real space and revealed the reality of the Iranian public opinion space. These figures neither consider themselves affiliated with a political group nor are they politically active, but rather try to act in the field of realism and patriotism, but the counter-revolution does not tolerate this level and carries out political attacks against these people. This is in a situation where the counter-revolution has created various campaigns with modern equipment and artificial intelligence tools by intensifying repression, all of which have failed. Of course, there are celebrities who, due to their lack of sufficient media literacy, fall prey to the enemy's fake news and reflect these fakes. Even the simplest fakes and artificial intelligence creations deceive them. These people do not recognize the reality, which is now being criticized by media-literate bloggers and their mistakes are being exposed to society. This is an issue that damages their credibility. In any case, what is clear is that despite the atmosphere of suppression of opinions and the creation of alien intellectual exploitation and tyranny, public opinion is still looking for the truth, and in this way, prominent figures can help purify this toxic intellectual atmosphere by strengthening their media literacy.
