'Ban Khamenei from Twitter': Users tell Elon Musk

New Delhi: Users have launched an online petition calling on Elon Musk, who recently bought Twitter, to ban Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from the platform.

Should Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei be banned from Twitter?

An activist petition is calling on @elonmusk to take action against a man who has used the platform to call for the death of the US. #IranProtests #Iranhttps://t.co/sUjvWJWIzo

An online petition was started on Change.org by Israeli-American journalist Emily Schrader and CEO of digital marketing agency Social Lite Creative, and other Twitter users.

Enough is enough. @elonmusk remove the Ayatollah from Twitter.

If he doesn’t let his own people use the platform, why should you let him use the platform?

Peter Singer, a bioethics professor, questioned Musk: “How is it that Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, who has banned 83 million people from Twitter himself can freely post his messages denigrating women on that platform?”

How is it that Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei, who has banned 83 million people from Twitter himself can freely post his messages denigrating women on that platform? Now his government is killing young women who choose to show their hair in public.

Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad is also among those demanding Khamenei’s ban from Twitter.

Surreal, @khamenei_ir banned 83 million Iranians from Twitter but he himself is allowed to use the same platform to order killings.

Meanwhile, Twitter in January this year had permanently suspended an account linked to Iran’s supreme leader that posted a video calling for revenge for a top general’s assassination against former US president Donald Trump. “The account referenced has been permanently suspended for violating our ban evasion policy,” a Twitter spokesperson had told AFP. The account, @KhameneiSite, had posted an animated video showing an unmanned aircraft targeting Trump, who ordered a drone strike in Baghdad two years ago that killed top Iranian commander General Qassem Soleimani. Khamenei is notorious for using his Twitter accounts to incite hate, violence and disinformation.
