Saudi Arabia's religious police have closed at least 10,117 Twitter accounts in 2014 over religious violations.
Turki Al-Shulail, spokesman of The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Haia), explained that some users were also arrested.
"Users were committing religious and ethical violations," he told Arab News.
"Haia blocked and arrested some of their owners. However, it was hard to follow all the accounts due to the advanced security used in this kind of social media." [International Business Times] Read more
