Nigeria bans Twitter after Big Tech company censors country’s president
Twitter should just build its own Nigeria if it doesn’t like being censored.
Left-wing Big Tech company Twitter, which has banned President Donald Trump, had the tables turned on it recently by Nigeria
The prohibition comes from "the persistent use of the platform for activities... capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence," BBC News reported, quoting a statement from the country’s leadership.
Twitter, which regularly censors other people whose views its hard-left employees oppose, was disappointed at the news.
“It comes just days after a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari was removed for breaching the site's rules,” BBC reported. “The statement from the Nigerian government did not mention the row over the removed tweet.”
The left-wing company had deleted Buhari’s tweet that referenced a possible crackdown on secessionists that had targeted his administration.
Perhaps Twitter has finally crossed the line too many times in its agenda, it seems, to control the flow of news.
