NL Times – The Turkish-Islamic cultural federation TICF, a foundation that speaks for 144 Turkish mosques in the Netherlands, is demanding that Twitter block the account of PVV leader Geert Wilders. According to the TICF, many of Wilders’ statements are contrary to Twitter’s terms of use.
If Twitter does not block the populist politician’s account, the foundation will go to court, lawyer Ejder Kose said to newspaper AD. The TICF also plans to file charges against Twitter in four Islamic countries – Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan and Indonesia. In those countries, many of Wilders’ statements are punishable, Kose said. “Twitter offers Wilders a platform to spread his hatred propaganda worldwide.”
