Instagram and free female teen blackmail sex videosFacebook are removing posts that support Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian general and leader who was killed in a U.S.-sanctioned airstrike, according to CNN.
Coda Story reports that Iranian journalists, influencers, and human rights activists have had posts if not their entire accounts removed from the platform.
Instagram is one of the few Western social media sites not blocked in Iran. As such, many Iranians posted about Soleimani after his death. Facebook is blocked (as well as Twitter), but some people access it through VPN.
Facebook, which owns Instagram, says that it is complying with United States sanctions against Iran by removing the posts and accounts. "We operate under U.S. sanctions laws, including those related to the U.S. government's designation of the IRGC and its leadership," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement provided to CNN. The spokesperson also said that people who feel like their posts were wrongfully removed can go through the appeals process.
Meanwhile, Iran government spokesperson Ali Rabiei called the move "undemocratic." He said on Twitter, "In an undemocratic and unashmed [sic] action,Instagram has blocked an innocence [sic] nations' voice protesting to the assesination [sic] ofGeneral [sic] #Soleimani,while the real terrorists have been given an open voice." The tweet continued, "The stick behind the democracy and media freedom is displayed in the nick of time."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Now, the Iranian state media stated that the government has called for nationwide legal action against Instagram and has even created a portal for Iranians to submit posts that have been removed. As Coda Story reported, Iran shut down the internet for a week in November 2019 and some believed that it was a precursor to an entire internet shutdown. This move from Instagram may further impact the government's censorship.
