The U.S worried about the ban of Twitter in Nigeria 2 months after
There is an update about the ban on microblogging site Twitter by President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The United States of America (USA) Consul General Claire Pierangelo has stated that he is worried about the ongoing suspension of Twitter in the country.
In a statement, she said, “Nigerian government’s ongoing suspension of Twitter and stated intent to introduce registration requirements for other social media platforms is deeply worrisome.”
“Banning or significantly restricting social media, including under threat of prosecution, undermines Nigerians’ human rights and fundamental freedoms.
“Reporters, editors, media executives, and civil society representatives — must remain vigilant to protect the right to freedom of expression and press freedom.”
