Social network X has updated the emoji of Iran's flag to the Shah's flag, which displays the lion and sun symbol in its center and was in use until the Islamic Revolution in 1979, as a gesture of solidarity with the massive wave of protests across the country. Earlier today, a user opposing the regime called for this move in a tweet to the head of the network's product department, Nikita Bier, who replied: "Give me a few hours." The flag was updated in all emoji usages across the platform, including official accounts - such as that of Tehran's Foreign Ministry.
