Wow, what a hypocritical tweet from the orange man.
To the leaders of Iran – DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!

He’s telling Iran not to shutoff the Internet.
How the hell is he in any position to lecture Iran about Internet freedoms? In America, huge numbers of people including many of his own supporters have been banned off of the big social media services which represent the modern day digital public square.
I was personally banned off of Twitter after only three weeks. I’ve also had extreme difficulties keeping my blog site online because of ddos attacks and other forms of harassment.
We have these tech monopolies most of which are run by or indirectly influenced by Jews which are arbitrarily deciding who gets access to the digital public square.
His response to this obvious censorship and blacklisting of political dissidents was to hold some ridiculous social media summit announcing that the government would look into solutions. Well, here we are many months later and no solutions have been presented or implemented.
The point being is that America has no business lecturing other countries about Internet freedom, when there is no Internet freedom for Americans.
