Platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook has been criticised over their moderation policies.
Twitter said it had boosted security measures on Nov 3 in response to a rogue employee’s move cutting off Donald Trump’s account, an 11-minute outage which drew mocking praise from the president’s critics but also warnings of a dangerous precedent.
The US social network initially said the account had been “inadvertently deactivated due to human error” after the outage late Nov 2 but subsequently indicated it was done intentionally by a departing worker on his or her final day.
