Jordanian users
first noticed that the app was down on Friday morning. The Cybercrime Unit of
the
Public Security Directorate then declared that the website was temporarily
suspended from Jordan citing the platform’s failure to regulate or deal with
calls for violence posted to the platform.
The statement
added that cybercrime teams are monitoring social media for hate speech or
incitement, as well as attacks on law enforcement, property damage, or
roadblocks.
Authorities
announced that “saboteurs” opened fire on police in Maan on Thursday night,
during violence related to the truckers’ strike. Col. Abdul Razzaq Al-Dalabeeh,
deputy police chief of Maan, was killed and two other police officers were
injured.
