A recent report shows that Saudi Arabia has built strong ties with Twitter, especially after Elon Musk took control of the platform. Saudi investors, including a company owned by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hold a large stake in Twitter. This has raised serious concerns about the influence of a foreign government on a major social media platform. The report suggests that Saudi officials have used Twitter to track and silence critics of the regime. Some former employees of Twitter were even accused of spying for the Saudi government. Human rights groups are worried that Twitter under Musk is ignoring these risks. Critics say the platform has become less transparent and more open to pressure from powerful investors. The Saudi government has denied any wrongdoing. Still, the close relationship between Twitter and Saudi Arabia has alarmed many around the world. People fear that freedom of speech is being weakened by secret deals and the growing power of authoritarian governments.

Pray against all the unholy alliances between Saudi Arabia’s government and Twitter, which curb the freedom of speech and freedom of expression of Saudi citizens. Pray for more transparency in all social media platforms (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 29:24).

Pray for the Saudi Arabian government to uphold the rights and freedoms of its citizens. Pray for the immediate and unconditional release of all the imprisoned rights activists in the country. Pray for justice to prevail for the victims (The Holy Bible, Psalm 72:4).
