Twitter says it has blocked an account in a country for the first time, after German police asked the micro-blogging site to restrict access to a neo-Nazi group.

'We announced the ability to withhold content back in Jan (January),' Twitter's chief lawyer, Alex Macgillivray, said in a message posted on the website.

'We're using it now for the first time re: a group deemed illegal in Germany.'
