Nigeria Shuts Down Twitter...
Nigeria banned Twitter on Friday after the platform deleted a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari, saying it violated their abusive behavior policy.
“The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria,” the country's ministry of information posted on Twitter Friday.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, said people were using the platform “for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence.”
