New Delhi, February 3
The government today put Twitter on notice for not honouring a previous legally binding order to remove incendiary and provocative accounts from its space and asked it to comply with the Indian law or face action for not working to prevent a potential law and order situation.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology warned Twitter for “unilaterally unblocking several accounts linked to a hashtag that falsely fear-mongered about alleged farmers’ genocide.”
