護航迫害新疆維族政策 中駐美使館帳號被推特封鎖
〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕中國迫害新疆維吾爾族受國際撻伐,美前國務卿龐皮歐卸任前,更直接指控中國對新疆少數民族實施「種族清洗」。推特指出,由於中國駐美大使館發表辯護新疆政策的言論,已觸犯官方規範並封鎖其帳號。
《路透》報導,推特發言人當地時間週四表示,中國駐美大使館帳號為新疆政策辯護的言論違反公司的非人化政策,決定封鎖帳號,「我們對那則違反非人化政策的推文採取行動」。推特政策明定:「我們禁止基於信仰、社經地位、年齡、身障、嚴重疾病、國籍、種族或民族對他人、團體進行的非人化行為。」
中大使館推特日前轉推了一篇《中國日報》報導,內容提到「維族婦女不再是生育機器」。該推文後來遭推特隱藏並標籤內容不再適用,但仍要求中使館自行刪除貼文,否則帳號將被封鎖,結果中方至今仍未刪文,因此自9日後再無發文紀錄。
The tweet was removed by Twitter and replaced by a label stating that it was no longer available. Although Twitter hides tweets that violate its policies, it requires account owners to manually delete such posts. The Chinese embassy’s account has not posted any new tweets since Jan. 9.
“We’ve taken action on the Tweet you referenced for violating our policy against dehumanization, where it states: We prohibit the dehumanization of a group of people based on their religion, caste, age, disability, serious disease, national origin, race, or ethnicity,” a Twitter spokesperson said on Thursday.
The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately to a e-mailed request for comment. Twitter is blocked in China.
The embassy’s account suspension comes shortly after Twitter removed the account of former U.S. president Donald Trump, which had 88 million followers, citing the risk of violence after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol this month.
Twitter had locked Trump’s account, asking for deletion of some tweets, before restoring it and then removing it altogether after the former president violated the platform’s policies again.
