based or cringe? One one hand human right activists in these countries are using Twitter to create awareness about the local isseus. On the other hand, CIA also uses it to manufacture consent to whatever plans they got

      Right. A tweet from the president of Nigeria was deleted by an American company. Seems like a bigger deal than some guy getting banned on twitter.

          I literally don't care who he is or what his motives are. Complaining about the Nigerian government banning Twitter (he is the head of state right, it's not like this was just his personal decision like they're framing it) is pointless. More countries should ban western platforms and use other ones (does China have any that other countries could use?). Anything that gives American companies less power is good. Of course it sucks for Nigerian twitter users though.

          can you not ( in your mind ) Remove yourself from the Person itself -Right wing Dip Shit what ever - ,

          • and understand that : AMERICAN COMPANY CENCORING NIGERIAN PRESIDENT , is the Issue here and nothing else ...

          Did you not gloriously invoce a Principle yourself : "Everyone cheering as media is Banned is a Tool" ..

          There are other Principles in Game here is called "Sovereignty"

          Why do you focus arrogantly on a single one .... ?
