Twitter Inc. took down more than 900 accounts linked to the Chinese government that were spreading misinformation about the protests in Hong Kong, the company said Monday.
“These accounts were deliberately and specifically attempting to sow political discord in Hong Kong, including undermining the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement on the ground,” Twitter wrote in a blog post.
'SHUT UP!! We need the freedom of expression.🤣🤣🤣'
have u ever heard a china radical organizations named 'king bar' or 'li yi bar' that they have 30 million members?🤣u are playing fire
shut up , we are talking about liberate
It is appropriate for free and open societies to defend themselves from closed authoritarian ones, which ruthlessly deny those very freedoms for their own citizens. This sinister double-dealing subversion of liberty and democracy must be interrupted and stopped in its tracks.
It’s a miracle! It’s freedom speech!
That's the 'freedom' they need, lmao.
According to Trump, Bloomberg, FOX and CNN, are all fake news, if they are faking news about POTUS, there is nothing they wouldn’t do to further their agenda, especially to China, a country with a different regime.

So now twitter and fb become judges to decide which information is right or wrong? Hmm...
Free speech my ass
Who is sending the fake news?Disgusting
I thought you admire freedom of speech more than everything. Why can’t you let the users decide themselves what information they trust more? Such a joke.
Hahahahaha now you say “took down”, rather than “ban”, or “censor”. Who defines what’s “misinformation”? Twitter or US government? Where does Twitter get the confidence from that it knows more about what is happening in China than the journalists on site?
natashakhanhk HKheroes must take advantage of this moment in their history to lay the ground work for the future. China and the US each need Hong Kong intact, for now. Post any China/USA trade agreement, all bets are off.
natashakhanhk Awesome
言论自由何在？资本下的媒体尽是交易......肮脏
You are misinformed by the biased western media. “To make the economy worse is exactly one of our target” a Shameful and Selfish speech by this so called “Freedom Fighter”! After check out this video, are you still supporting them? via YouTube
Love to see that for those spreading misinformation about Portland, like the lie ANTIFA opposes fascism.
Isn't that limiting free speech?
propaganda
Α Ha Ha Ha ¨“These accounts were deliberately and specifically attempting to sow political discord in Hong Kong, including undermining the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement on the ground,” Twitter wrote in a blog post.
Just like you took down wikileak?
But Twitter hasn't banned those accounts yelling Nazi racial discrimination words '支那“!
So they likely took down accounts that were for Hong Kong. I’d bet twitter was helping China.
Is there a remaining source of viable information?
I just lost all of my followers
i find there are fake news from both sides! Esp in Facebook!
Great News! the Great Firewall is working in China!
