Reuters: Venezuela's Maduro slams Twitter after accounts blocked
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday said Twitter was an "expression of fascism" after accounts linked to his government were suspended, accusing the U.S. company of persecuting his followers.
One of the Twitter accounts suspended belonged to Radio Miraflores, a station set up by Maduro that broadcasts from the presidential palace, including a salsa music program the president hosts.
"Twitter in Venezuela today deactivated thousands of people's accounts," Maduro said at televised rally. "Simply for being 'Chavistas,'" he said, using the term for followers of his predecessor, late socialist leader Hugo Chavez.
Chavez was a pioneer among politicians in the use of Twitter, gathering millions of followers and frequently announcing news on the platform. Even today, Chavez's 4 million followers beat Maduro's 3 million.

Update: President Maduro condemns Twitter for closing accounts (BBC).
WNU Editor: The Venezuelan government has banned the opposition from using the public airways .... at least those who are not in jail .... and now they are upset that their Twitter accounts have been deactivated. I am not going to shed them a tear .... I am just wondering if Facebook is next.

More nonsense, via boiler plate
Fred,
You sound very guilty. Is there something you want to tell us?
Are you a Bernie supporter?
Are you going to leak secrets like Reality Winner or act like Hodgkins?
Fred,
It is called an affinity chart.
Chavez <> Danny Glover <> Bernie
Chavez <> Johnny Depp <> Bernie
Now with just a few you can argue that it is guilt by association and a false.
For example, Carter <> John Wayne Gacy <> Serial Murderers, would be false.
Although we have a picture of the two together, Mr. Gacy kept his activities secret and Mr. Carter has never espoused serial killing.
In the first example before Chavez, his Hollywierd supporters, and Bernie all espouse socialism a dn all do so openly.
You it seems falls into that 'weird' sort of subgroup.
The affinity diagram is a business tool used to organize ideas and data. - wiki
So Fred is organized under academic socialist kook.
No meds today? get off your tedious paranoid boilerplate
No questions, its much like the formula "people who support Trump support NRA support KKK".
Watch 'Hillary Clinton's America'
It covers the KKK lie that you so glibly promote.
I actually have yet to run into a KKK member (Military arm of the Democrat Party), but then I do not travel in Democrat circles.
I also have not been paid by Democrat Robert Creamer to disrupt political rallies.
Fred,
Troll,
Basement Prog,
Whoever you are.
You are 1/2 gen behind when it comes to the NRA.
Can you please update your boilerplate?
If you really are an old Democrat curmudgeon, your kids or grandkids could have brought you up to speed on the NRA.
but that uis really odd. Perhaps you have no kids?
