Meta confirms it has banned Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's accounts from Facebook and Instagram. “We removed these accounts for repeatedly violating our policies on dangerous organizations and individuals,” a Meta spokesperson said.
Moderating content related to this country is a headache for Meta, between pressure from human rights NGOs and that of the authorities. The social network, like Facebook, is banned in Iran, but nevertheless remains used thanks to “VPNs” (virtual private networks) which make it possible to circumvent censorship.
