U.S. Senator Marco Rubio tweets about the massive takedown, in which he criticizes the social media platform for being a 'Chinese government sensor.'
Twitter apologized to the public for suspending accounts which have been critical of the Chinese government in the past week.— Days before the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre in China, Twitter apologized to the public for suspending accounts which have been critical of the Chinese government in the past week.
In a series of tweets, Twitter said Saturday it suspended"a number of accounts," with"a significant proportion" for engaging in spamming,"inauthentic behavior" and evading bans. "However, some of these were involved in commentary about China. These accounts were not mass reported by the Chinese authorities — this was a routine action on our part," it said.
