Twitter suspends Pakistani Foreign office spokesperson M Faisal's private account

As your link says: "While there has been no official statement over the suspension as of yet," then as you said above, it is all speculation, including claims of bias. May be if we knew what tweets were the ones that raised the issue we might speculate a bit more intelligently?


Can you explain why you feel these reports are speculation? Also, sweeping things under the rug is surely not intelligent. Once again:

The personal Twitter handle of Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal was restored on Wednesday after remaining suspended for almost 19 hours.

The account was suspended on an official complaint lodged by the Indian government over apprehensions that Dr Faisal was keeping social media users updated regarding Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing on RAW agent Kulbhushan Jadhav.

Sources privy to the development told The Express Tribune that the micro-blogging website’s regional office in India had acted on an official complaint lodged on Tuesday.

How can one say anything without looking at the tweets in questions. Where are they?

Excatly, Dr. Faisal's personal twitter account (DrMFaisal) hasn't posted anything objectionable unlike some of the hateful material Donald Trump regularly posts. Twitter's Indian regional office suspending the Dr. Faisal's account at the behest of Indian government screams bias. Again, denialism isn't going to solve the problem, something you agreed to earlier.

The report for your eyes, Syed Ali Haidar, once again from an Indian daily:

"...India raised the issue to the Twitter management that eventually led to the suspension of his personal Twitter handle late Tuesday," it said.

More people follow Twitter than bother to go to ICJ website to watch the uncensored recordings of the proceedings. And India was getting hammered at ICJ, being exposed for multiple intentional misquotations and melicious misinterpretations in their submission.

Hence the request for a ban on his Twitter account to mute what's happening at ICJ.
 
. . .
I am not making any claims. I am merely considering possibilities with prejudging anything.


Clearly, you did without evidence and given that you have none, it is safe to rule this one out.


Now back to Twitter's blatant bias in this case:


"...India raised the issue to the Twitter management that eventually led to the suspension of his personal Twitter handle late Tuesday," it said.

Equally clearly, you are rushing to prejudge the events without any facts. :D

Where is the text of the complaint? Where are the tweets that were the cause of the complaint?

You have regressed back into denialism, Syed Cheng.

Here are the facts:

"...India raised the issue to the Twitter management that eventually led to the suspension of his personal Twitter handle late Tuesday," it said.

I am not denying anything. All I am saying is that it is impossible to arrive at any conclusions without knowing the complaint, or the tweets that initiated it.

More denialism.

There are no objectionable tweets. The account is public (DrMFaisal) just like Donald Trump's account which has plenty of objectionable tweets that violate Twitter's rules and public calls for suspensions. Twitter's Indian regional office acted out of bias when it suspended Dr. Faisal's account.

Facts for Syed Cheng's eyes:

"...India raised the issue to the Twitter management that eventually led to the suspension of his personal Twitter handle late Tuesday," it said.

Those are mere claims. The basis to establish them or not will need to come from the complaint and the tweets that caused it, without which nothing robust can be determined.

The pattern of denialism continues, Syed Cheng.

Again, there are no objectionable tweets. The account is public (DrMFaisal). Even you despite ample time have been able to produce a single objectionable tweet. Ergo, we can safely conclude tthat Twitter's Indian regional office acted out of bias when it suspended Dr. Faisal's account.
