Twitter hits pause on verification requests

Twitter has launched a privacy-protected version of its site to bypass surveillance and censorship.

It comes after Russia restricted access to its service in the country.

The Kremlin has blocked access to Facebook and has limited Twitter in an attempt to try to restrict the flow of information about its war in Ukraine.

Both social platforms companies say they are working on restoring access to people inside Russia even as they restrict the country’s state media from their services.

Russia continues to control how the media and social interaction platforms discuss the invasion of Ukraine, with Moscow imposing a new law threatening 15 years jail for anyone caught spreading “fake news.”

The Kremlin says what is happening in Ukraine must be called a “special military operation” – not an invasion or war.
