Social-networking service Twitter has suspended numerous accounts affiliated with the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, according to media reports on Saturday.
Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station protested on Saturday that most of its Twitter accounts had been suspended, the AFP reported.
It accused the social-media company of giving in to “political pressure.” Al-Manar’s accounts in English, French and Spanish were also not available, but some accounts related to specific shows were still functioning.
“Internationally recognized terror groups should never have a platform for their violent extremism,” he added.
“There is no place on Twitter for illegal terrorist organisations and violent extremist groups,” a Twitter spokesperson told AFP.
