The social media strategy plays a prominent role, including plans to change the royal family’s website to a black holding page with a short statement confirming the Queen’s death, while the gov.uk website and all governmental social media pages will display a black banner. Non-urgent content will not be published and retweets will be banned unless cleared by the government’s head of communications.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... -blackoutsThey're going to fuck around with Twitter?
They fucked with twitter when they banned Trump.
Nobody can complain when it affects them too
Trumps an idiot but nobody was forced to read his shit.
However everybody was denied (forced) to read his tweets.
I'm not on twitter and never will be. I'm not that stupid
Trump isn't just anyone tho.
He was the leader of the free world, the most powerful man on earth. Thus his tweets had the potential to do huge damage, not least among his own gullible fans. Eg if he made a tweet promoting horse dewormer for covid, should it stay up?
Do you agree with the Taliban and Ayatollah Khomeini being allowed on Twitter?
No, love.
Tho some channels of communication MUST be left open, for obvious reasons.
Trump made a secret deal with them behind the legitimate Afghani govt's back .... & it all went downhill from there.
