Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei took a brief respite from attempting to incite violence against America and Israel to call for more censorship of alleged “false claims” online.
Ayatollah Khamenei, supreme leader of the terrorist-supporting Iranian government, insisted on the necessity of information control in a recent speech, Reclaim The Net reported. He called for more laws targeting “lie[s]” online, as the Iranian government considers legislation to increase online censorship.
Khamenei claimed that “psychological security” is a right for Iranians: “It means that each day rumors, false claims, and frightening statements should not be spread in people’s minds.” He claimed that the internet has made the problem worse.
“Once every few days or every few hours, rumors or false claims by specific or unknown individuals are published on the internet which frightens people and disturbs their minds,” Khamenei asserted. “A lie spread as a rumor.” He said the “judiciary” must address the issue, adding that “existing laws” could also be helpful. “If we don’t have the law we should create new laws quickly,” Khamenei said.
