Twitter blocks neo-Nazi account in Germany


Twitter has blocked the account of a neo-Nazi group accused of inciting hatred towards foreigners. In what amounts to an unprecedented move for the company, Twitter announced it had complied with a request by German authorities who have been monitoring the activities of the banned far-right group Besseres Hannover (Better Hanover) for some time.
The move came after an investigation into about 20 members of the neo-Nazi group in Lower Saxony, northern Germany, after they were charged with inciting racial hatred and forming a criminal organisation. The group was banned last month by the state's interior ministry. In particular the group, which is estimated to have around 40 active members, stands accused of being behind a threatening video that was sent to the social affairs minister of Lower Saxony, Aygül Özkan.
In my opinion i believe this is the right decision for twitter to block these neo-nazi account, as these are a extremist who are there to follow the ideologies Adolf Hitler. This has been stopped many years ago and for people to still be carrying this on, would affect a lot of people and upset them, due to the mass murders the nazi's have commited.
