Twitter locks account of Chinese Embassy in US over policy violation - Reports

Moscow, Jan 21 (Sputnik) Twitter has locked out the Chinese Embassy in the United States from the social networking website for alleged violations of the company's policy against dehumanization following a tweet that casts aspersion on Uyghur women, the CNBC broadcaster reported on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Twitter removed the diplomatic mission's post, which said that Uyghur women had been "emancipated" and were no longer "baby-making machines." The social media giant removed the tweet and replaced it with a label saying it was no longer available. On Wednesday, Beijing denied mistreatment of the ethnic minority.
"We’ve taken action on the Tweet ... for violating our policy against dehumanization, where it states: We prohibit the dehumanization of a group of people based on their religion, caste, age, disability, serious disease, national origin, race, or ethnicity," a Twitter spokesperson told CNBC in a statement.
