Twitter has acknowledged that a day-long block of one of the New York Times’s accounts was imposed in error.<\/p>\n
The @nytimesworld team, which covers international events, has about 1.9 million followers and is recognised by the social network as being a “verified account”.<\/p>\n
But on Saturday it was locked after posting a report about the Canadian prime minister.<\/p>\n
The newspaper was told it had violated Twitter’s rules about hateful conduct.<\/p>\n
The NYT said it had taken Twitter nearly 24 hours to unlock the account and allow it to start posting again.<\/p>\n
It normally sends up to 100 tweets a day.<\/p>\n
