Twitter Says It Has Purged Hundreds Of Accounts For "Undermining Faith In NATO"

Reuters: Twitter removes hundreds of accounts it says are linked to Iran, Russia, Armenia 

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Twitter said on Tuesday it had taken down 373 accounts which it said had ties to Russia, Armenia and Iran and had breached its platform manipulation policies. 

The company said it had taken down 238 accounts operating from Iran for various violations of its policies. 

Twitter said 100 accounts with Russian ties were removed for amplifying narratives that undermined faith in NATO and targeted the United States and the European Union. Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow planned to look into the grounds for Twitter blocking the accounts, TASS news agency reported. 



WNU Editor: So if you are critical of NATO. According to Twitter you are then undermining faith in NATO and your account will be deleted.

You could criticize NATO as:

1.) Evil

2.) Unnecessary

3.) Slackers (i.e. certain countries a majorly freeloading like Germany lead by Chancellor Tremors)

the NAZI's at Fakebook had 3 choices:

1.) Support the effort
2.) Ignore it
3.) Fight it

I ignore Zerohedge for three reasons. Two of those reasons would be Simon Black, a scammer from Singapore, and The Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian Front group IMO.

Fakebook could fight Russia "undermining NATO" by taking careful aim with their blunderbuss and hit people, who criticize NATO for being unnecessary post 1991 (a somewhat valid viewpoint) or who criticize some NATO member for letting the US carry them and also hit the Russian oligarchs. If you hit the former some of think it is bad, but for Fakebook it is not a bug. It is a feature.

Having resources, Fakebook could identify them supposed bad influencers. May with the USG they could do open source counter intel. They could literally say they traced the source to an IP address and list the prevarications or shadings of the truth.

If there was a site that did that, I would read it. If they did an expose on the Strategic Culture Foundation. I would read it with great interest, but and the in 5 or 10 years, it would go the CNN, USA Today, Snopes and everything else. It would be as dangerous or more than the people they report on.


Russia could return the favor and report o the BBC, CBC, VOA, Die Welle and others.
