Rights of Journalists Declining; Twitter Censoring at Govt Requests

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Rights of Journalists in Decline around the Globe. Cracking any big story leaves journalists open to harassment. Harassment is one thing, however, but jail and torture are quite another. Around the globe, journalists have been experiencing a direct crackdown on what they are allowed to write and where they are allowed to go.

 

Now Trending on Twitter: Censorship at Governments’ Requests.  Last week, Twitter made a pro-Ukrainian Twitter feed inaccessible in Russia. In addition to blocking that account, Twitter has also worked with the Turkish government to monitor content that officials there find objectionable, but then Turkey shut down the entire platform a couple of months ago when Twitter was being used as a platform for anti-government protests, which no doubt factored into the tech company’s willingness to accommodate Turkish officials’ concerns. The New York Times also reported Thursday that Twitter blocked content that upset a Pakistani bureaucrat, honoring his request to censor tweets on five occasions.

      So glad people are finally drawing attention to this. Many Twitter users including myself have had our tweets censored for respectively expressing concern over current issues within the US government. It’s very unfortunate that a majority of the public is too distracted to care.
