Twitter Issues Ad Ban to Russian Cybersecurity Company

Description

On Friday, Twitter announced it will ban ads from Russia’s Kaspersky Lab, a multinational cybersecurity and anti-virus provider headquartered in Moscow. In a statement, Twitter said the company’s business model conflicts with the social media platform’s advertising rules. Twitter added that firm's suspected ties to Russian intelligence agencies also factored in the move. Twitter explained in its statement Friday, "This decision is based on our determination that Kaspersky Lab operates using a business model that inherently conflicts with acceptable Twitter Ads business practices."

Twitter Locks Trump's Account For 12 Hours, Warns Of Permanent Ban

Twitter said Wednesday it has locked President Donald Trump's account for 12 hours, says CNN. This is a warning sign, for the first time, that the site may suspend him permanently. The temporary lock reflects Trump's violation of the Twitter rules, the company said. "We have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets," said Twitter. The tweets posted earlier today were repeated and severe violations of Twitter's Civic Integrity Policy. Twitter says future violations will result in a permanent suspension of Trump's account.
