Data manipulation and the prohibition of producing and publishing official and real statistics primarily deceives the officials themselves, rather than the people or experts.

Abbas Abdi, political analystAhmadinejad used to claim that we created 6.1 million jobs a year, a hundred times more than the reality!The process of becoming digital, informational, and data-driven in the economy and society is an undeniable trend, and resisting this trend is pure and foolish suicide.The Minister of Health must explicitly take action to lift the restrictions on free access to information.Free access to information not only violates the people's rights but also has negative and dangerous effects on governance in every respect.In a healthy society, classifying ordinary information as secret makes no sense, as this issue is one of the main causes of corruption and inefficiency. The principle should be the production, dissemination, and free access to information unless confidentiality can be proven with solid reasons.Currently, the confidential stamp is often used with the aim of inefficiency and covering up corruption and ineffectiveness.The greatest influence of information and espionage occurs when there is the most sensitivity towards the production and dissemination of essential and useful data.
