Social media spreads awareness and misinformation about Iran protests

Since September, women’s rights protests have erupted throughout Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. Amini was, by eyewitness account, detained by the Iranian government, killed in police custody after her arrest by Iran’s morality police for “allegedly wearing her headscarf too loosely,” the Times reported.
