Twitter is re-blocking some accounts after the Indian government threatened legal action

said it is reimplementing restrictions on some accounts in India after the government threatened legal action when the company refused to block hundreds of handles that New Delhi called inflammatory.

“To do so, we believe, would violate their fundamental right to free expression under Indian law,” the blog post said. Koo won the best app award as part of a government campaign last year to promote homegrown companies. Government officials singled out the hashtag #ModiPlanningFarmersGenocide, which some Twitter handles had been using to bring attention to the government’s crackdown on protesting farmers. The farmers want to repeal three new laws that were enacted by New Delhi last year.

An Indian government official said Twitter had, as of Tuesday, blocked 126 handles out of the requested 257 related to the genocide hashtag. The official said Twitter had also blocked 583 out of 1,178 handles that Indian security agencies had flagged on Feb. 4 as potential threats to public order.

Indian govt doesn’t understand the right of freedom

do you guys see the black spots on the image moving? if not, i need to see a psychiatrist

Twitter was once a bastion of free speech and thinking. It’s now a cess pool of disjointed politically motivated acts of suppression of speech and thought. Shocking how far and fast the service’s leadership fell into the dark of partisan political turmoil
