The ban comes courtesy of Abdolsamad Khorramabadi, Secretary of the Iranian Committee for Determining Criminal Web Content, which has the power to block access to sites and services deemed offensive in content, ownership, or… well, whatever, really.

Khorramabadi described Zuckerberg as "an American Zionist", which is apparently reason enough to extend Iran's blocking of Facebook to WhatsApp as well. Strangely, the committee has not yet got around to blocking Facebook-owned Instagram, despite it being a part of Zuckerberg's alleged Zionist enterprise for much longer than WhatsApp.

Great! and yet beating your wife is still legally allowed in that country or other islamic countries. There is actually a Youtube video that teaches you how to actually beat your wife. If only these idiots made one wherein they would teach you to please your wife..... you would never end up in a situation of wanting to beat a woman.

We are talking about Iran here, this should come as no surprise.

I thought Mark Zuckerberg is a resident of Zion, the last human city on the planet Earth after a cataclysmic nuclear war between mankind and sentient Machines, in The Matrix!

Too bad, he isn't.

Iran is a islamic extremist country, what else can we expect from it, I wonder how can this country still survive after the Ayotallay kohmeni (whatever his name is) made a scene in 70s and that too they messed with USA.
