Twitter recently gave itself the power to block accounts and tweets on a country-by-county basis. Now, working with German officials, Twitter has banned a neo-Nazi organization, which is not
allowed under German law. “As part of the disbanding, the ministry also ordered that its social media account be seized,” Marketing Land reports. Said social media account can still be
viewed by U.S. users, however. “This is part of the wink-wink system of ‘censorship’ that’s long been operated by Google. The search engine, similar to Google, may
‘ban’ pages from appearing in certain countries.”
