Former Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, took to Twitter this morning to talk about how important it is to make time for the social media platform even on his busy days:

If you’re baffled by that one, what about this defense of Serena Williams’ now-banned bodysuit at the French Open?

Why is the #FrenchOpen disrespecting @serenawilliams ? Unfortunately some people in all Countries including my Country, haven't realized the true meaning of freedom.

“The true meaning of freedom”? This might be a kinder, gentler A-Jad but we’re not buying it:

Twitter is banned in Iran. But Iranian officials use it regularly to reach out to their supporters and push their agenda. https://t.co/rIgjFFv7hk https://t.co/yEYuJDwq3x

Is Jack OK with this?

I'm tweeting about a tweet about tweeting in a country where tweeting is banned. https://t.co/h66p3ZzjHk

You know, since it was Ahmadinejad who BANNED Twitter in the first place:

Under hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, #Iran shut off Twitter in 2009 as it faced mass protests over his disputed re-election. Iranian officials and the public must use virtual private networks to access the site. https://t.co/oKn3n6S60G
