The company says the post violated its abusive behaviour policy, leading to a 12-hour suspension of his account.
Twitter has removed a post by Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari threatening punishment for regional secessionists blamed for attacks on government buildings. The move on Wednesday came as Buhari’s tweet, referring to a civil war in the southeastern Biafra region, violated the social media company’s abusive behaviour policy, leading to a 12-hour suspension of his account. The two-and-a-half-year conflict started in 1967 and more than one million people died from fighting, disease and starvation.More Related News
