        Freedom of speech according to liberals: “We are free to attack, slander, demonize any person, country, religion, etc. using anything that might stick, true or false we don’t care! And if anyone challenges our allegations they are but mere Bots that needs to be silenced”!

        In case your wondering why so many Saudis are popping up on twitter these days to defend their country against Fake News Peddlers, have a look at these stats (you could have found this out with a simple google search, & discovered why the hashtag was #1) https://www.statista.com/statistics/242606/number-of-active-twitter-users-in-selected-countries/ …pic.twitter.com/pG9uZaoCiK

        Saudis among top ten in terms of using twitter as a platform of social engagement. Undermining other voices to serve agendas over saying the truth is an absurd behave. We won the war by using Twitter & you lost it becoz you couldn’t prove your accusations. #FakeNews

        Can you indicate the source of the text image you attached? I participated in that hashtag, which was a real voice from #SaudiArabia.You have to accept the fact that Saudi citizens love #Mohammed_bin_Salman. #اكتب_كلمه_جميله_للوطن

        Saying some bots were found to be using the hashtag is not the same as saying everyone using the hashtags are bots. If it did, you would have been banned.

        You know they literally closed down news papers and tv outlets accounts and many personal accounts claiming they were bots just because they didn’t like the opinions that we were expressing. Apparently now not hating our leadership is a crime.

        So let’s get this straight, he went into the consulate to pick up documents so he could marry and got into a brawl with 15 saudi assassins who flew in on private jets that morning, one of whom had brought a bone saw with him? One guy picks a fight with 15 men.... really...
