Twitter suspends Hungarian government’s account ‘without warning’: PM spokesman warns ‘The new world has finally arrived.. tech giants are silencing those with different opinions’ 

Twitter today suspended the Hungarian government’s Twitter account without warning prompting Viktor Orban’s spokesman to ridicule the ‘beautiful new world of tech giants silencing opinions.’ 

The account @AboutHungary, which tweets on behalf of the nationalist prime minister’s cabinet office, was inaccessible earlier but has since been restored. It comes after Twitter waded into political rows in the United States earlier this year by flagging President Donald Trump’s tweets for ‘misinformation’. 

Orban’s spokesman Zoltan Kovacs used his own personal Twitter account to attack the Silicon Valley company, writing: ‘The beautiful new world has finally arrived, in which tech giants are silencing those who hold different opinions.’
