Double standard?
Twitter declares access to the open internet to be a 'human right,' while depriving some people of that right.
The Twitter Public Policy account tweeted on Saturday that it is "deeply concerned" with the blocking of the platform in Nigeria, and considers access to the internet an "essential human right in modern society".
It doesn't really add up, taking into consideration multiple situations when Twitter appeared to violate its own denoscription of the internet. For example, the former US president, Donald Trump, and other conservative figures who were ousted from the platform for "disobeying" the company’s terms and conditions of use.
