In the course of journalism, there is every possibility that one will at some point publish information that someone else does not want published. That is CENTRAL to journalism. If we only publish material that story subjects approve of, that would be PR, not journalism.

Interestingly, the malicious reporting of the tweet containing an image of Bola Tinubu's undisclosed Guinean diplomatic passport as "private information" means that Tinubu's camp has directly confirmed the authenticity of the document. There can be no greater self-indictment.

The information was clearly shared as a matter of public interest concerning a public figure (a president-elect) who has committed perjury. This is expressly permitted under Twitter's stated platform guidelines, which means this was an automated decision made without human input

It is easier to delete the tweet and unlock the account than to go through the appeal process, but as a matter of principle, it is important for Twitter to demonstrate that it understands its own stated platform rules and policies where African public disourse is concerned.

More importantly, these baffling and arbitrary decisions directly contradict the stated guidelines published by these platforms themselves. Why are @YouTube and @Twitter blatantly breaking their own rules to censor independent journalists? Are these human or automated decisions?

Where the direct leadership of 200 million precious human lives is concerned, there can be no room for asinine arguments and ass-backward, misplaced, pseudo-woke sentiment. If public scrutiny constitutes violation of their "privacy," then they have no business in public office.

This is clear evidence of discriminatory decision making by Twitter. Why has one appeal been successful but not the other? Is @elonmusk granting favourable treatment to Nigerian government apparatchiks while arbitrarily restricting journalists whom the government does not like?
