Twitter censors news from Palestine
Media Watch 4 November 2019
Twitter shut down the accounts of Quds News Network, a major Palestinian news publication, without warning or explanation.
Twitter has provided no explanation for why it shut down the accounts of Quds News Network, a major Palestinian news service, over the weekend.
This alarming act of censorship is another indication of the complicity of major social media firms in Israel’s efforts to suppress news and information about its abuses of Palestinian rights.
QNN said on Monday that its four main accounts were suspended without warning or explanation early on Saturday.
QNN said it has pursued efforts to appeal the suspensions through Twitter’s website but received no response.
Twitter typically notifies users of alleged violations of its terms of service and provides them an opportunity to remove violating content or to appeal a decision.
