A petition to the White House has recently been filed calling for investigation into Twitter’s suppression of criticisms of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), after the U.S. social media company appointed a new director having “close ties to top leaders of the CCP.”
The petition, titled “Call for a thorough investigation on Twitter’s violation of freedom of speech,” was filed on May 20. The petition states, “Twitter has suppressed criticisms of CCP and suspended [China’s political] dissent’s accounts while pro-Beijing accounts live well.”
