Official Parliament Twitter Account Breaks Armistice Day Silence

Today is Armistice Day in the United Kingdom (which coincides with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day) and it is customary to award a two minute silence to the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”, when World War 1 hostilities ended at eleven o’clock in the morning of 1918.

But does that silence extend to Twitter?

For many users, probably not. After all, a tweet is, by definition, silent. But for an official UK government account, one would presume that tweeting during the silence would be considered, at best, poor form.
