India Threatens to Shut Down Twitter

Co-founder Jack Dorsey says India had threatened to shut Twitter down unless it complied with orders to restrict accounts, an accusation the Indian government dismissed as an outright lie. <br />Dorsey, says that India threatened the company with a shutdown and raids on employees if it did not comply with government requests to take down posts and restrict accounts that were critical of the government over protests by farmers in 2020 and 2021. <br />Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has repeatedly denied engaging in online censorship and said on Tuesday that Dorsey’s assertions were an “outright lie”. <br /><br /><br />This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/4166630/advertisement">https://www.spreaker.com/show/4166630/advertisement</a>
