Trump Congratulates Nigeria for suspending Twitter, says more countries should ban the platform.
“Congratulations to the country of Nigeria, who just banned Twitter because they banned their President. More COUNTRIES should ban Twitter and Facebook for not allowing free and open speech – all voices should be heard,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump also encouraged other countries to follow in Nigeria’s footsteps and ban Twitter and Facebook.
Stating that he should have banned Twitter and Facebook when he was in the White House, but claimed he was discouraged by Mark Zuckerberg.
Trump’s congratulatory message comes days after Nigeria suspended Twitter indefinitely last Friday.
The Nigerian government made the decision after Twitter deleted Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet for violating its abusive behaviour policy and several calls by Nigerians to take it down.
“In the meantime, competitors will emerge and take hold. Who are they to dictate good and evil if they themselves are evil? Perhaps I should have done it while I was President,” Trump added. “But Zuckerberg kept calling me and coming to the White House for dinner telling me how great I was. 2024?”
