Following the recent Twitter suspension by the Federal Government, Portuguese politician, Bruno Maçães, has hinted that the action taken by government is a reasonable decision.

He noted that no country should place a social media platform above its head of state.

In his reactions on Twitter, he said,

''This seems like a reasonable decision. No sovereign country should be inclined to place Twitter above the head of state or head of government.

It was perhaps tolerable for a US internet platform to determine what can or cannot be said by the US president, but how did anyone ever think the model could apply globally?".
