With the Iranian elections over, and President Hassan Rouhani surging to victory once more, we bounce off our last episode and look back at Rouhani and his main competitor Ebrahim Raeisi’s campaigns. Joined by Small Media’s Research Manager James Marchant, we’ll look at the declining role of Twitter in Iranian’s online lives, the changing relationship between conservatives and social media and discuss if we really think Rouhani’s huge mandate will result in greater online freedom. Producer and host: Mo Hoseini Guest: James Marchant Music by Longzijun
