The Twitter account of the US Embassy in Cairo was temporarily taken offline on Wednesday after an incident involving ‘The Daily Show’ host Jon Stewart and the government of Egypt. This happened after Egyptian authorities objected to a tweet, which contained a link to the Stewart’s monologue where he mocks the Egyptian President Muhamed Morsi for the arrest of Bassem Youssef, a famous Egyptian satirist. It is still unclear when the Twitter account will restart. This incident happened amidst the escalating tensions between Washington and Cairo over concerns that Egypt is violating the human rights of its citizens.
