Kiongozi wa Ujerumani mama Angela Markel amepinga uamuzi wa Twitter kumfungia Donald Trump kwa kusema utaratibu huo haukubaliki.
Markel amesema vyombo vya ulinzi na usalama ndivyo vilitakiwa kuona kama Trump anahatarisha amani au lah na sio menejimenti ya Twitter.
Twitter kwenye utetezi wake wa kumfungia Trump walisema wafanyakazi wake wasiozidi 400 waliweka sahihi barua ya kumtaka mmliki wa mtandao huo amfungie Trump na bwana Jack akakubaliana na uamuzi huo.
Swali je kama hao wafanyakazi wa Twitter hawampendi Trump, je hii sio kinyume cha utaratibu?
Markel anasema uhuru wa kutoa maoni unaweza tu kuzuiwa na mahakama na sio menejimenti ya mtandao wa kijamii kuamua kama ujumbe huu hatuutaki na huu tunautaka.
Mimi binafsi niliona Twitter walikurupuka, walifanya kazi kwa mhemko.
Hii ni kuingilia uhuru wa kutoa maoni. Iwapo tutaacha menejimenti za mitandao ya kijamii ziamue ni ujumbe upi tunatakiwa kuweka na upi tusiweke basi uhuru wa kutoa maoni uko hatarini.

The German chancellor said although Twitter was right to add warnings to Trump's posts, the move to permanently suspend his account raises concerns about free speech.
'The right to freedom of opinion is of fundamental importance,' Merkel's spokesman said
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is concerned about Twitter permanently suspending President Donald Trump's account, her spokesman said on Monday.
Steffen Seibert told reporters in Berlin the chancellor considered the ban "problematic." "The right to freedom of opinion is of fundamental importance," Merkel's spokesman said. "Given that, the chancellor considers it problematic that the president's accounts have been permanently suspended."
German government: Trump's Twitter ban 'problematic'
The chancellor agreed with the practice of flagging Trump's inaccurate posts, Seibert said. However, any curbs on free expression should be decided by the law and not by private companies.
Social media giants Twitter and Facebook moved to permanently suspend Trump's accounts following the deadly riots at the US Capitol last Wednesday. Five people were killed in the hours-long unrest.
Twitter justified the decision by saying Trump's tweets could prompt more violence.
"[The Twitter ban] is problematic because we have to ask on which basis (was it made), on which laws and what does it mean for the future actions of social media platforms?" Jens Zimmermann, a Social Democrat member of parliament told DW.
"We are talking about the head of state of a democratic country. Obviously Donald Trump wasn't very popular in Germany. But nevertheless, this could happen to somebody else who won an election."

Concerns over the implications
Although opinion polls in Germany have shown broad support among the public in Germany over the move to suspend Trump, several politicians and officials in Europe remain unconvinced."[The Twitter ban] is problematic because we have to ask on which basis (was it made), on which laws and what does it mean for the future actions of social media platforms?"
