See, I don't mind it.

Twitter and Facebook are HORRIBLE tools to rely on. They spread more wrong information than right information.

If free speech is going to survive it will require open systems and responsible journalism. Twitter and Facebook are tools that promote neither.

Bad information, I suppose, is better than no information… but damn have we regressed in a lot of ways.

This ban is not to keep the Kurds from receiving information, they know they are getting bombed when their houses blow up. It's to keep information out.

To exfiltrate information, all the Social Media anti features are a plus.
