Peter Todd
So @lessig is suing the New York Times for defamation over an alleged clickbait headline which they refused to correct.
Definitely worth reading the explanation of the situation. Very simple and to the point.

After Soleimani’s death, Instagram shuts down Iranian accounts
Iranian Instagram users have had their accounts deleted and deactivated after posting their opinions about the death of Qassem Soleimani.
Peter Todd

One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
