US State Department to tweet in Russian
The US State Department will open Twitter accounts in Russian, Chinese and Hindi, announced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As the unrest in the Middle East spread, the State Department started micro-blogs in Arabic and Farsi.
“This is enabling us to have real-time two-way conversations with people wherever there is a connection that governments do not block,” said Clinton, according to RT.
Clinton also noted that some states like North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria and Vietnam practice internet censorship.
