    Text of the tweet: "Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp are all going into the usual Meta/Zuckerberg genocide-enabling mode, censoring #IranProtests and blocking accounts."

    First time I've heard the term "genocide-enabling mode"... what would be the rationale for blocking Iranian accounts outside of Iran? (Heck, why block them INSIDE Iran?)
