Twitter says it has suspended more than 125,000 accounts since mid-2015 "for threatening or promoting terrorist acts".

In a blog,the US-based firm said the accounts "primarily related to ISIS" (the so-called Islamic State group).
"We condemn the use of Twitter to promote terrorism," it said, adding that it had increased its report reviewing teams to react faster.
Twitter has more than 500 million users around the world.
"We have already seen results, including an increase in account suspensions and this type of activity shifting off of Twitter," the company said.
It added that it was co-operating with law enforcement bodies "when appropriate" as well as other organisations.
Governments around the world - including the US - have been urging social media companies to take more robust measure to tackle online activity aimed at promoting violence.

The negative way of looking at this situation is that Twitter's problem with terrorism-related posts is a lot worse than we thought.
A study towards the tail-end of 2014 estimated that around 46,000 accounts had been used to post extremist material, and so in just over a year that number has rocketed.
But of course, the positive way of looking at it is that Twitter is seemingly on top of the issue and taking it seriously. It's doing what it can to make sure the public knows this, at a time when many in government are hitting Silicon Valley companies with large doses of "surely something can be done" rhetoric.
The big question is what happens next. Terrorists will carry on making more accounts, as well as migrating to other platforms.
And questions will be raised about the removal process. Who decides? Who's keeping watch? The definition and perpetrators of terrorism can change depending on your geography and political views.
Twitter will now be asked: why not fascist tweets? Or anti-Israel? Anti-Palestine? Anti-women? Anti-[insert cause here]?
In December, US politicians put forward a bill that would force such companies - including Twitter and Facebook - to report any apparent terrorist activity they find.
EU officials have also been calling for talks with major social media firms to discuss the issue.
In March, Facebook revampedits "community standards" to include a separate section on "dangerous organisations".
It said it would ban groups promoting "terrorist activity, organised criminal activity or promoting hate."

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that he would have had "less difficulty" if he had proposed barring Christians from entering the US instead of Muslims.
Last December, the Republican presidential front-runner ignited a national firestormby proposing to suspend all Muslim immigration and tourist travel into the US.

"If I said that about Christians, and if I said 'banned,' I'm telling you I would have had less difficulty," Trump said Saturday. "And that's pretty sad, because we're Christians. I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian."
Some of Trump's critics have questioned the sincerity of his faith, noting that the real-estate mogul recently saidhe doesn't like to ask God for forgiveness.
But Trump unequivocally embraced the evangelical Christian community throughout the start of his Saturday speech in Sioux Center, Iowa.
"I'm a true believer. And you're many true believers — I hope all — is everybody a true believer in this room? I think so. But Christianity is under tremendous siege," Trump told supporters at Dordt College, a Christian liberal-arts school.
The real-estate mogul lamented that Christians do not wield as much political influence in the US as they could.
"The power of our group of people together, I mean, if you add it up ... it could be 240, 250 million. And yet we don't exert the power that we should have. Now, I think some of the churches are afraid of their tax status, to be honest," he said.
"But you know the fact is that there is nothing the politicians can do to you if you band together. You have too much power. But the Christians don't use their power," Trump said. "We have to strengthen. Because we are getting — if you look, it's death by a million cuts — we are getting less and less and less powerful in terms of a religion, and in terms of a force," he continued.
Trump then complained that big department stores do not say "merry Christmas" during the holidays.
"When they don't want to say 'merry Christmas' in department stores anymore. I won't shop at places that don't say 'merry Christmas.' Guess what? I don't too much shopping," he said to applause. "No, no, it's true. When I see these stores, and they have a red wall and they have nothing on it. They don't want to say 'merry Christmas' anymore. I say, 'Why don't you say merry Christmas?'"
Trump vowed to change the department-store situation when it comes to wishing people "merry Christmas."
"I'll tell you one thing: I get elected president, we're going to be saying 'merry Christmas' again. Just remember that," he said. "And by the way, Christianity will have power, without having to form."
He added: "Because if I'm there, you're going to have plenty of power. You don't need anybody else. You're going to have somebody representing you very, very well. Remember that."

This is photoshoped nauw..
Mtcheww..
Metuh should pay if he was really found guilty of exhausting our national yams, if not, they should release the man abeg.

Acidosis:
Isn't that dum.b? How can he fake Buhari's aides and hand them over to the Nigerian Police and the Nigerian Army?

Who controls the Police and the Army? Fayose or Buhari?


Some of you APC posters on Nairaland have killed this sense of reasoning in exchange for Aregbesola's bowl of Custard.

You ask "why"?.
Everthing is possible from a desperate man like Fayose who is high on weed.
He says and does anything just to remain politically relevant, including changing his mothers pampers with ekiti state govt's money, selling fish (perhaps to generate revenue for a state he has dried its pulse), drinking and dancing at palmwine joints during office hours.

Thank you.
