In a speech dedicated to Internet freedom in the world, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced yesterday that the Department of State would open Twitter accounts in several new languages, including Russian.
“We are committed to continuing our conversation with people everywhere around the world. Last week, we launched Twitter feeds in Arabic and Farsi, adding to the ones we already have in French and Spanish. We’ll start similar ones in Chinese, Russian, and Hindi. This is enabling us to have real-time, two-way conversations with people wherever there is a connection that governments do not block,” said Hillary Clinton.
