The Cost of Facebook?s Now-Repudiated Censorship Thu Jan 09, 2025 20:00 | Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker
Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome. But it's not enough, say Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker. Without a public reckoning they will just do it all again when a cause seems urgent enough.

Below is an appeal on behalf of imprisoned students. International Solidarity has forced the Iranian Regime to release trade union activists. Send your protest letters/emails to the addresses at the end of this piece.
In the last two weeks more than 40 student leaders and activists have been rounded up by the Ministry of Information of the Islamic regime of Iran. We have been informed that at least 43 of the detainees are being held in the notorious Evin Prison, and the whereabouts of the rest is unknown. These students were arrested on or before 7 December 2007 in anticipation of protests on Student Day.
 Imprisoned Students. What is worrying in these arrests is the fabricated charges laid against the students. The Ministry of Information said: "The rioters had hand grenades, alcohol, illegal literature". Rajanews linked to Ahmadinejad said: "After investigations of universities by security forces, the communists with connections aboard were arrested. The plan was to create riots by using Molotov Cocktails and hand grenades". References to 'alcohol, banned literature, groups abroad', only show how oppressive the regime is, but mention of 'Molotov Cocktail and hand grenades' are dangerous security codes used in the past to execute thousands of dissidents or to impose long sentences. News of torture of students is worrying. The world must react to this atrocity.
We ask you to support the detained students, to force the Regime to release the prisoners. The people of Iran would appreciate the international solidarity with their struggle against the Regime. International pressure would make a difference to the situation of the political prisoners, and would limit the ability of the Regime to repress students, labour and women rights activists and the people of Iran.
