These shutdowns have included snapping access to Facebook and Instagram, limiting access to Google News and issuing warnings about YouTube.

The list also includes Brian Thomas Moynihan, Chairman and CEO of Bank of America, and George Stephanopoulos, host on the ABC television channel, among others.
