Snapchat blocks Al Jazeera, that's why

The social media platform Snapchat has blocked its access to Al Jazeera's content in Saudi Arabia.

Snapchat said he was asked by Saudi authorities to remove the Candor Canary's Canary, broadcast by Qatar because he violated local laws.

Qatar is in a continuing dispute with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

The four countries cut ties with Qatar at the beginning of this year, accusing the country of supporting terrorism, the Klan Kosova broadcast.

Saudi Arabia has one of the world's most limited media environments, according to human rights groups and media freedom lawyers.

But Saudi authorities have a particular disagreement with Al Jazeera. At one point they had demanded that Qatar's government shut it down as one of 13 conditions to lift sanctions against the country.
