Presence in social networking websites

Khomeiny shahr azad university

The university has an unofficial student Instagram page named "IIAUKHSH" which is managed by a group of students and currently has more than 6500 followers. This group of students also run and manage a Telegram channel name "IIAUKHSH". Both aforementioned page and channels are not confirmed by the university to this day. The university also had several official Telegram channels, and the most successful ones were run by "education office" and "public affairs",[10] but after telegram censorship in Iran, an order from the central branch of university to halt all branch activities on Telegram and move to national Iranian messengers, these accounts activity were halted (and as of today, 13-Oct-2018 will be deleted in a few weeks due to telegram application automatic account termination after a certain period of inactivity).
