(Worthy News) – Iran’s supreme leader, in a tweet Wednesday that was not flagged, restricted, or blocked by Twitter, called the United States “Satan” and labeled Israel America’s “chained dog,” drawing fresh attention to questions about the platform’s content policies.

The tweet was a paraphrased excerpt of a speech he gave marking the annual Hajj season. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
