“#Iranian leader asks what problem is with anti-Semitic tweets<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n WASHINGTON \u2014 Iran\u2019s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had a few things to say about Wednesday\u2019s big tech hearings in Congress \u2014 bizarrely asking why anyone took issue with his Holocaust denial tweets.<\/p>\n

Earlier Wednesday, Twitter<\/a> chief Jack Dorsey was grilled by senators over his platform\u2019s refusal to remove tweets from Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader calling for the extermination of the Jewish people \u2014 while at the same time censoring The Post\u2019s reporting on Hunter Biden\u2019s overseas business dealings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next question to ask is: why is it a crime to raise doubts about the Holocaust? Why should anyone who writes about such doubts be imprisoned while insulting the Prophet (pbuh) is allowed?\u201d the leader of the rogue regime asked in a tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 81-year-old dictator is a prominent user of Twitter, frequently spreading Jew-hate on the platform to his 836,000 followers \u2014 including calling Israel a \u201ccancerous growth\u201d to be \u201cuprooted and destroyed\u201d \u2014 without any retribution.<\/p>\n

In July, The Post revealed that the Silicon Valley giant rebuffed a request from the Israeli government to remove Khamenei\u2019s tweets, claiming they qualified as \u201ccomments on current affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) pointed out the hypocrisy of Twitter executives at Wednesday\u2019s hearing,\u00a0asking Dorsey if Twitter considered that \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody who denied the Holocaust is not misinformation,\u201d Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

More than six million Jews \u2014 around two-thirds of Europe\u2019s Jewish population \u2014 were mass murdered by the Nazi regime during World War II.<\/p>\n

Twitter created a political maelstrom earlier this month when it took the unprecedented step of preventing its users from sharing The Post\u2019s reporting on the Biden family\u2019s overseas business dealings \u2014 even locking the accounts of users like White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.<\/p>\n

Dorsey, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg were hauled before lawmakers on Wednesday as part of a probe into Section 230, a federal law that protects the tech giants from being held liable for the content their users post and how they moderate it.<\/p>\n

President Trump in May signed an executive order aiming to curtail their legal liability protections after Twitter began slapp<\/a>ing fact check labels on the commander-in-chief\u2019s tweets.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
