BRICS nations should have their own social media, Iranian professor Seyed Mohammed Marandi believes. The decision by American tech giant Meta to ban RT and other Russian news networks is a symptom of the dwindling power of the US and its allies, Iranian professor Seyed Mohammed Marandi has suggested. The Tehran University academic spoke to RT on Tuesday about the latest crackdown on Russian media by the US government and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram. “[Major] social media companies are controlled by the United States. They are effectively arms of the state,” Marandi said, explaining why he believes Meta’s decision should be seen as a move by Washington.
