Meta Bans Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei from Facebook, Instagram

The ban is in response to Khamenei's support for Hamas and calls to 'wipe Israel off the map'; he remains active on X.

Meta has removed the Facebook and Instagram accounts of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for violating its Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy.
The ban follows Khamenei's support for Hamas and inflammatory rhetoric against Israel, including calls to 'wipe Israel off the map'.
Despite the ban on Meta platforms, Khamenei still maintains an account on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The decision to ban Khamenei's accounts has been praised by various groups, including the Anti-Defamation League.
Social media platforms have been under pressure to take action against Khamenei's accounts following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
