What if the US shuts down twitter for a month before each election to reduce interference?

“We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet,” the statement continued.

“access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections.”

LOL! Oh my sides.

I bet Twitter did this just to get in a brazenly hypocritical moral high ground reference to #OpenInternet in their statement.

This is all just a big joke to the Masters Of the Universe. (Or maybe the Masters Of the Universe Minus Uganda)
