| Twitter suspends accounts of Palestinian Quds News Network | |
| 2019-11-03 | |
| [Al Jazeera] Twitter has suspended multiple accounts of an independent Paleostinian news website considered one of the primary sources of news on Paleostine and the Israeli occupation. The suspension of Quds News Network accounts, which have hundreds of thousands of followers, is the latest in a series of actions involving social media sites including Facebook in either temporarily or permanently banning Paleostinian accounts. Twitter's move follows the website's censorship by the Paleostinian Authority (PA) two weeks ago, where it was one of the more than 50 news websites and pages that the PA accused of violating a cybercrime law in the Occupied West Bank.
As of Sunday, access to Hamas’s English and Arabic handles as well as several of those belonging to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV was no longer available. Access to three Quds News Network accounts was also cut off.
