It’s very unfortunate that we rely on these tools of imperialism
In the 2009 failed color revolution of Iran, Twitter played a MAJOR role.
It would appear that ISIS has also been using Twitter (and other social media) . Course, this was done without hindrance given that ISIS was encouraged by the US - and as Rand Paul said, we have been allied with ISIS in Syria. So they can tweet but, if news agencies use twitter, Iranian news agencies, then twitter mutes their accounts.
It is amazing that this tool of the empire, like its other social media tools including the one I am currently using, has been left unchallenged.
Maybe the playing field should be made more even by muting them all!
Twitter mutes 3 Iranian news agencies after British tanker seizure
Published time: 21 Jul, 2019 00:11Edited time: 21 Jul, 2019 08:25 The Farsi accounts of three Iranian news agencies have been suspended on Twitter since Friday, shortly after they reported the capture of a UK-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Twitter says the events are unrelated.
Two Farsi-language Twitter pages of Mehr News Agency, as well as pages belonging to the Young Journalists Club (YJC) and IRNA, have all been blocked on Twitter since Friday. Mehr and the YJC are semi-official news agencies, and IRNA is Iran's official government-run agency.
