Iran Is Arresting Models Who Pose Without Headscarves On Instagram (bbc.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Tehran cybercrimes court said the country has arrested eight people working for online modeling agencies deemed to be "un-Islamic." The women models were arrested for starring in photos on Instagram and elsewhere without wearing their headscarves, which has been required in public since 1979. A total of 170 people have been identified by investigators for being involved in online modeling, including 59 photographers and make-up artists, 58 models and 51 fashion salon managers and designers. The court's prosecutor Javad Babaei announced the the threats on TV, claiming modeling agencies accounted for about 20 percent of posts on Instagram from Iran and that they had been "making and spreading immoral and un-Islamic culture and promiscuity." He added, "We carried out this plan in 2013 with Facebook, and now Instagram is the focus."
Actually comparing trumps current bid for power to the one hitler used shows a lot of scary point of similarity.
Also trumps statements of goals are eerily the same, though in English.
Comparing him to hitler may not be right, but it is definitely too close for comfort.
I guess the only way we'll know for sure is if he wins the election and we see what happens.
Assuming that the secret service doesn't take care of him about 2 weeks in.
If you don't see the similarities, go study some history, it's all recorded there in black and white. Including a few audio and video recordings.
And yes, I'm talking about the rise to power, not the whole WW2 thing.
When in Rome, follow Roman law. You want to play with fire, try starting a Communist party in the USA (illegal), or offering end to end encryption email with no back doors in England.
If a female goes outside in the USA (and many other places) without a top on, you'll get to see repression of an exactly similar nature.
Probably shouldn't be feeling all that superior to Iran, really.
Just a matter of degree.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
