My country is on that list.

The president/government is using Twitter to:

* Order military lockdowns in cities

* Defect blame to all political oponents

* Threaten to shutdown the largest bank and mobile phone operator

* Bot networks that attack any dissenting view

* A government official publicly using the twitter api to identify tweets from the oppositon

* Order the military and police to use letal force if someone does not comply.

We've had somewhat working separation of powers.

It is terrible to see my country turning into an autocratic rule, and how the government is misusing Twitter to make that happen :/
