As of Friday, 7th June 2019, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and top messaging app WhatsApp have been blocked by internet providers in Liberia.

Snapchat, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Google’s Gmail service and the website of The Associated Press were among the sites affected, internet monitoring platform NetBlocks revealed.

Most journalists and some citizens are using virtual private networks (VPN) to bypass the restrictions, Bai Sama G. Best, managing director of Liberia’s Daily Observer newspaper, told CNN.

Eugene Nagbe, the Liberia’s Minister of Information confirmed that social media platforms were shutdown temporarily because of “security concerns.”

“We have restored some of them,” “We are not saying that the protesters were carrying out things detrimental to the nation, but the national security apparatus said there were threats to the country and the services were temporarily disrupted and have been restored,” he said.

Many will never say this.. Yours is a wise use.

Twitter Inc has made changes to the number of account to follow in a day.

Previously, Twitter users were able to follow up to a thousand (1,000) accounts, but now Twitter has reduced it to 400 per day. This measure according to Twitter will make the platform more secure.

In July 2018, Twitter place a restriction on some API in order to impede the use of artificial tweet engagement on its platform.

Recall, that in April and June 2018 Twitter announced that it deactivated about 143,000 apps due to several violations.

This latest development is Twitter’s ongoing efforts to get rid of its platform misuse.

See their official announcement below;
