Twitter shuts down pghcopmovements account in midst of G-20 protests
According to a post on indypgh.org, San Francisco-based Twitter.com shut down an account called pghcopmovements. pghcopmovements was monitoring the movement of police and military through the city of Pittsburgh during the protests against the G-20 summit on September 24–25, 2009.
According to a report on indypgh.org:
The Twitter feed "pghcopmovements" has apparently been shut down. http://twitter.com/pghcopmovements currently displays that "the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity." Strange activity? See some of the videos of the police state in Pittsburgh on http://indypgh.org/ for strange activity in the form of sonic guns, tear gas and smoke bombs.
Apparently, Twitter only allows its users to monitor cop movements in certain designated countries such as Iran.
