Snap Inc. on Sunday said it has followed a request from the Saudi Arabian government to block access to Al Jazeera news articles and videos on its Snapchat social-media app to residents in the country.

Al Jazeera’s Arabic-language channel in Snapchat Discover, which had been available since May, was removed from the Saudi Arabian version of the app, a spokeswoman from Snap said. Al Jazeera articles remain open to Snapchat users in 14 other countries in the Middle East.
