Nigeria suspended Twitter after they removed the President’s post.
Information Minister Lai Mohammed said the government had acted because of “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.
Mohammed did not spell out what form the suspension would take or give more details on the undermining activities. His ministry also announced Twitter’s suspension on Twitter.
He said they’d have to wait and see what form it takes.
Jack has a problem! Not everyone is falling in line with his totalitarianism.
In response, Twitter posted a self-pitying tweet Saturday morning alleging that access to its private platform constitutes a “human right.”
This is the platform that takes others’ human rights away.
They wrote: We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria. Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society. We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world.
They added the hashtag, ‘Keep it on.’
Jack is suffering from a serious lack of self-awareness.

Why haven’t we banned them? They could easily be delisted and thrown off shore. Then they could relist in China. They’d be much happier there.

Awareness of self is not a feature for evolved enlightened faculty lounge beings who will drag the rest of us kicking and screaming to the it’s gonna work this time Benetton rainbow stew bubble up utopia with equality of results for all comrades at all times.
Forward! The Great Reset Leap Forward. Yes we can.
I bet if the EU or US ban Twitter it would disappear within a month and Jack Dorsey would go from Billionaire to Welfare within a year. The worse thing you can do to tyrants is make them poor.
Banning Twiiter is a excellent idea. Turn about is fair play. The laws of physics work. For every action their is reaction. Call it Karma.
