Elon Musk Shuts Down Jover Laurio’s Twitter Account!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Just hours after YouTube terminated Pastor Apollo Quiboloy’s channel for violation of YouTube rules, Twitter shut down the account of Jover Laurio of the infamous Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB).

The unprecedented move by Twitter owner Elon Musk came after Laurio tweeted a threatening message on her account.

Laurio was reacting to statement by Quiboloy is “bullet-proof” to which she replied, “Sample, sample,” insinuating that someone should shoot the pastor — a clear and irrevocable violation of Twitter rules.

Twitter rules couldn’t be any clearer than this: “You may not threaten, incite, glorify, or express desire for violence of harm.”
