"Is this another example of US freedom of the press where if DC doesn't like what u say, ur domain is seized? (sic)," tweeted American-born Press TV host Marzieh Hashemi.

So the Iranian can't have freedom of speech in peace? And same USA will be going around preaching freedom of press/speech.
It is not about Iranians having freedom of speech.
The Iranian Government's action of banning and preventing any private news media or TV stations from operating in the country and ensuring that the Government operates all news media is the major violation of freedom of speech! Their Government news media are therefore nothing more than propaganda machines and should not elicit any sympathy when it is disrupted or shutdown!

You cannot deny your people their fundamental rights to free speech and then cry when you are told to shut up!

Twitter is a social platform where INDIVIDUALS, INSTITUTIONS, BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENTS place information and make their positions known.

It is also regulated and offensive tweets taken down.

These websites are run by biased people and created for the purpose of putting out their own biased information.

Will they regulate themselves and take down their own offensive posts?

No.

So, the comparison isn't really based on logic and reality.
The regulatory aspect is biased and based only on how its leadership feels or wants it. They need to Subject themselves to the laws and courts of the land in which they operate, but they don't want to do that, that is why they refused to have a presence in most places they operate, yet making a lot of money from those places.

The platform can be used to incite civil unrest in countries.

No reasonable govt allows such such level of control from a foreign outfit.

We all saw what Twittter did when the US was about to be plunged into crisis. They restricted all people wanting to cause crises for their country and never considered anything called Freedom of expression.

When this happens in other countries, instead to stay on the part of the state to maintain civil decorum, they will be urging the agents of destabilisation on and will be talking about freedom of expression.

The platform is biased and hypocritical.

It's interesting how pmb's minions are trying so hard to twist a narrative.

PMB went against Twitter because he felt hurt that they rightly took off his tweet. His action was based on his ego which he couched as national interest.

By the way, the US got a court order to seize those sites, which one did PMB obtain?
Don't be biased,if you agree that nigeria government denied the masses freedom of speech,the same thing go to u.s.a government.

I am not understanding.. Are those websites blocked from Usa or USA government seized the websites.

If the latter is the case, then Usa did not think this through

Btw, why should USA be building Nuclear weapons but fuming at others doing same?
Would nuclear weapons be safe in the hands of Iran's or a Muslim country? You know Iran has openly be supporting terrorist in Yemen, Syria, Hezbollah, Palestinian Hamas, Iraqi shutters, etc.

The first time i m agreeing with a buharist... The Democrat party are the tyrant... because all the main stream who would have hold them into account are their major support and they feel they can do and undo anything the way they feel... Most Americans cant think for themselves.

See your mentality? U think an average Moslem is rational? If Moslem countries are allowed access to nuclear weapons, they will ground the earth. They are good at destroying not building. Imagine what we witnessed in Gaza recently...imagine then firing 1,500 missiles in a day, if not that Israel could intercept the rockets.... I beg US is the police of the world. Let them be. Imagine if those great countries had allowed Hitler succeed...abeg o

Oh, so you prefer the "truth" as said by amelika?

"I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment,” Pompeo boasted as the audience laughed and celebrated the statement"

No one mane can initiate a missile launch in the us, iran that made mistake shooting down its own plane, imagine it launches nuclear by mistake, only usa and japan can talk about the true cost of nuclear missile, not fanatics like iran, no matter how much you win a war, you still lose, deep down taking lives will always kill you on the inside, unless you are a fanatic.
