Twitter on Friday continued its crackdown on what it considers improper content by removing more than 10,000 accounts for spreading political misinformation and unrest.

Twitter said the accounts included more than 4,000 found to be operating out of the United Arab Emirates, and 4,000 others from China. More than 1,000 accounts came from Ecuador, and the company also shut down accounts from Saudi Arabia, Spain and Egypt. According to a company blog post, most of the accounts were engaged in fomenting political dissent through the spread of false information.
