though I don't follow the Ayatollah. Though I have seen some Ahmedinejad tweets, he's woke I guess.

Iran is cut off from the international internet as I understand it. Banking too so they can’t buy using debit cards.

twitter does monitor that account and has removed posts that violate the TOS. Khamenei does not violate the twitter TOS on a regular basis. Trump got the ban-hammer for endless TOS violations including the last ones that incited an armed insurrection.

They give wide latitude to heads of state, as they should. Being a horrible head of state of a horrible government is not currently a TOS violation in itself. Instead, shit posting horrible stuff is what gets you banned.

Trump torched the rules all along the highway. (and finally his followers got crazy enough that Twitter said, "F*ck it ..&quot

Corporate decision to save face.

Twitter has hidden a post on the account of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on a COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theory.

The tweet from the account of Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, claimed that COVID-19 vaccines imported from the U.S. or U.K. were "completely untrustworthy."

"It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations," the tweet said, in reference to America and Britain. The tweet also claimed that French coronavirus vaccines "aren't trustworthy."
