Slovenian journalist and publicist Sebastjan Erlah has caused "a scandal on Twitter" when he suggested migrants should be shot at, Tanjug is reporting.

A single Celtic fan’s expletive tweet turned into a social media battle with the Scottish club’s Europa League rivals Fenerbahçe when a Turkish fan responded by wielding a knife. Here are the remarkable tweets of the epic social media clash that turned anger into fun via sarcasm.

Twitter issues a transparency report every six months to record the amount of government requests it receives during that period, and how the company responds to them.

US astronaut Scott Kelly seems to have a special spot in his heart for Greece. The astronaut tweeted once more on his ‘beloved’ Greece, this time posting ‘To my good friends in Greece. Thinking about you. Hope you are having a great evening’. Who knows, it could be the perfect bird’s eye view of the Greek islands. In any case, thank you Scott.
