1/ The voice of 150+ million people in East Africa is being actively censored by @Twitter. Over the past yr prominent voices have been deplatformed & many others shadow banned. Twitter even went to the extent of banning the trending section for the region!
2/ The global digital town square you envision @Twitter has been a distant dream for us. Twitter has been actively discouraging plurality of thought in the region by suppressing one narrative while promoting another, aligned with interests of certain powerful countries.
3/ Suppression forces ideas underground; makes them more violent by taking away the moderating effect of moderate voices. It fans the flames disinformation. It makes people more paranoid and less tolerant of opposing view points.
