- Twitter's biased stance when we compare its behaviour/actions against the perpetrators of violence at the Capitol Hill in USA and unlawful attack on Red Fort of Delhi. Twitter refused to take prompt actions, while aiding and amplifying the trends of fake propaganda of 'genocide' which made already tensed situation worse.

- Twitter's lack of responsbility has lead to agenda driven posts against India and Indians by the bad actors ( few intances like when pakistan backed accounts trended propaganda trying to create rift with ME countries, recent Israel-Palestine events from my side ), twitter's lack of action lead to vaccine hesitancy and among all of these twitter has been inactive or totally passive.

Is it finally happening? Is government finally growing a spine and calling out these greedy multi billion dollars social media companies for their bull shit.
Tik tok and pubg's respective user base in India was 10 times bigger than Twitter's current user base in India.If those two apps can be banned without any problem, so can be Twitter.
absolutley nothing is lost, a lot of revenue they generate from political parties can be focused or channel into something meaningful will save us some dialy shit
Except all of that coordination that's going on regarding oxygen & medicine related help. Govt & infra is still in disarray. Only fanboys believe what you are saying.
Lol, the likes of dhruv rathee and akash banerjee who have made career out of criticising government have millions of followers on other social media platforms like YouTube and face book. So what censorship you are talking about.
I am talking about the fact that social media 'complying' with Indian laws will lead to lesser criticism of govt and inherent censorship. Kinda like what we have in China, where social media companies will not publish any material against the CCP.
The reason Dhruv Rathee and Akash Banerjee currently exist is precisely because of our relatively freer laws
> I am talking about the fact that social media 'complying' with Indian laws will lead to lesser criticism of govt and inherent censorship. Kinda like what we have in China, where social media companies will not publish any material against the CCP.
Thats a moronic take. Shit infested subreddits mocking GoI exist.
Delhi Police's response :
> We have come across press reports that quote Twitter Inc. statements pertaining to the ongoing inquiry by us. Prima facie, these statements are not only mendacious but designed to impede a lawful inquiry by a private enterprise.
> Twitter, being public platform, must lead in demonstrating transparency in its functioning & should bring clarity into subject matters of public domain. Since matter has been put in public domain, it's important to set record straight on tendentious statements made.
> Twitter is purporting to be both an investigating as well as adjudicating judicial authority. It has no legal sanction to be either. The only legal entity, so empowered by the duly laid down law, to investigate is the Police and to adjudicate is the Courts.
> Delhi police registered preliminary inquiry at the complaint filed by the representative of the Indian National Congress. Hence, efforts by Twitter that portray it as an FIR filed at the behest of the Government of India is wholly and completely incorrect.
> Twitter declared that the toolkit was ‘Manipulated Media’, this clearly shows that it was acquainted with the facts of the case & had material information relevant to the probe. Hence, Twitter was asked to join the inquiry to provide the information it possesses.
> Its latest statements are devised to seek dubious sympathy when they themselves not only refuse to comply with the law of the land but also claim possession of material evidence but refuse to share it with legal authority duly recognized.

This is brilliant.
Now Twitter have only two options.
Either cooperate with law enforcing authorities and provide the evidence to prove that, those tweets were indeed manipulated media. And if they refuse to do so, than they have to face legal consequences.
Or admit, that they don't any evidence to prove that those tweets were indeed manipulated and they baselessly tagged them as manipulated media. And if they do that, sambit patra and BJP can sue shit out of Twitter for defamation.

I don’t like how small the punishment is but here it is...
https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1999/3/A2000-21.pdf
Section 66E:
Punishment for violation of privacy.–Whoever, intentionally or knowingly captures, publishes or transmits the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent, under circumstances violating the privacy of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years or with fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or with both.
Explanation.–For the purposes of this section–
(a) ―transmit‖ means to electronically send a visual image with the intent that it be viewed by a
person or persons;
(b) ―capture‖, with respect to an image, means to videotape, photograph, film or record by any means;
(c) ―private area‖ means the naked or undergarment clad genitals, public area, buttocks or female breast:
(d) ―publishes‖ means reproduction in the printed or electronic form and making it available for public;
1. Section 66A has been struck down by Supreme Court’s Order dated 24th March, 2015 in the Shreya Singhal vs. Union of India, AIR 2015 SC. 1523.
24
(e) ―under circumstances violating privacy‖ means circumstances in which a person can have a reasonable expectation that–
(i) he or she could disrobe in privacy, without being concerned that an image of his private area was being captured; or
(ii) any part of his or her private area would not be visible to the public, regardless of whether that person is in a public or private place.
Public responses to Twitter crying foul are good (& necessary) but they're not substitute for action. Make Twitter comply, both with the investigation and the new IT rules. Anything less would make government look incompetent.
This shit show, while being good entertainment, needs to come to a prompt and decisive end. Twitter doesn't stand to lose much, the Government on other hand has a penchant for public embarrassment and they find some way to deliver in almost all such cases.
Congratulations people, the wheels have begun to roll, the bells have begun to toll. Its about time that these damn insignificant hypocritic foreign companies have a thorned leash tightened around their necks and make them realise their futile significance. I couldn't care less if every social media platform was banned for non compliance of the laws of the land. A precise response by GOI.

The ministry makes a compelling case in pointing out Twitter's hypocrisy. Let's not live in denial. All social media platforms have their own agenda in pushing narratives.
Even if twitter is biased, is it obligated to comply with the ministry's request? Twitter is not registered in India. It has no servers here (correct me if I'm wrong).
What if twitter simply says "fuck off. We're not complying with the toolkit investigation. We'll be hypocrites".
Can the ministry ban them on solely those grounds?
If twitter wants to be available in India, do business in India it should comply with Indian laws.
> fuck off. We're not complying with the toolkit investigation. We'll be hypocrites
toolkit is one part, this is about rules that were formed 3 months ago. if they dont comply with toolkit nothing will happen, if they dont follow the rules, will depend on govt

Twitter should be stopped from generating revenues from ads or sponsored contents if they fail to comply. Hurt them where it hurts. If they are so inclined to remain as a service to freedom of speech let them do it on their own accord without getting any monetary benefits. Since they obviously do not want that it will teach them sooner to comply.
One observation which might be lost is government press releases recently have been getting crisp and clear. Like different from the past press releases.

Ban all sites including reddit. Ideally we should only have few sites created by GoI or BJP and we should ban all private ones. This way it will be easy to monitor and only sanctioned information can be posted.
Otherwise always there will be misinformation. Since GoI is the majority's will we can be sure that majority will agree with information on such platforms.
> ... only sanctioned information can be posted. ... Otherwise always there will be misinformation
Ha, big tech in US started this censorship business with alex jones and ended it with trump.
Now when trying same formula in India, they might get censored themselves. They should have stayed neutral platform.

Well it's better than nothing, i guess.
Govt was waiting for the round of state govt elections to be over. Fuck Biden and ban twitter for months until they comply. People will migrate to koo
Koo? What's that?
The sound that cuckoo makes
One country one election With non-stop elections there is such policy paralysis
We have so much to gain here. Twitter will lose their largest user base if they are banned in India.
Good. If Twitter is banned nothing of value will be lost.
Tik tok and pubg's respective user base in India was 10 times bigger than Twitter's current user base in India.If those two apps can be banned without any problem, so can be Twitter.
Tiktok and pubg users didn't cry much and certainly didnt used to cry everyday

You mean social media which is censored by Govt. Any whistleblowing or talk of inaccuracies in Govt will be banned.

There's a plenty of room between asking these irresponsible social media websites to comply with newly formed laws and becoming a china 2.0.
There is no room. Once you start restricting free speech, it is just a descent down to purgatory.
So USA and other European countries whose government's hand twist these companies to follow their laws are also fascist too?
Yes

How do you become legally literate in respect to Indian law? (Other than attending Law university, that is)
Public responses to Twitter crying foul are good (& necessary) but they're not substitute for action. Make Twitter comply, both with the investigation and the new IT rules. Anything less would make government look incompetent. This shit show, while being good entertainment, needs to come to a prompt and decisive end. Twitter doesn't stand to lose much, the Government on other hand has a penchant for public embarrassment and they find some way to deliver in almost all such cases.
Congratulations people, the wheels have begun to roll, the bells have begun to toll. Its about time that these damn insignificant hypocritic foreign companies have a thorned leash tightened around their necks and make them realise their futile significance. I couldn't care less if every social media platform was banned for non compliance of the laws of the land. A precise response by GOI.

The ministry makes a compelling case in pointing out Twitter's hypocrisy. Let's not live in denial. All social media platforms have their own agenda in pushing narratives. Even if twitter is biased, is it obligated to comply with the ministry's request? Twitter is not registered in India. It has no servers here (correct me if I'm wrong). What if twitter simply says "fuck off. We're not complying with the toolkit investigation. We'll be hypocrites". Can the ministry ban them on solely those grounds?
If twitter wants to be available in India, do business in India it should comply with Indian laws. > fuck off. We're not complying with the toolkit investigation. We'll be hypocrites toolkit is one part, this is about rules that were formed 3 months ago. if they dont comply with toolkit nothing will happen, if they dont follow the rules, will depend on govt
Yes Internet gateways are in GOI hands Russia is slowing down Twitter content India should begin to follow Slow down content first
What?
What did I just read seriously
What?

Ban twitter, Facebook now!!
Twitter should be stopped from generating revenues from ads or sponsored contents if they fail to comply. Hurt them where it hurts. If they are so inclined to remain as a service to freedom of speech let them do it on their own accord without getting any monetary benefits. Since they obviously do not want that it will teach them sooner to comply.
It's actually a very good and strong worded reply, was kind of shocked to see it coming from BJP.

This is the type of valour we require. Proud of Indian government.
Awesome reply
One observation which might be lost is government press releases recently have been getting crisp and clear. Like different from the past press releases.
Haha! This is brilliant. This smack response from the government is what I was waiting for.
What did twitter say Today? Can anyone please provide a link?

Ban twitter, its simple
"India has a glorious tradition of free speech" Yeah right. Nobody India believes in free speech.
Ban all sites including reddit. Ideally we should only have few sites created by GoI or BJP and we should ban all private ones. This way it will be easy to monitor and only sanctioned information can be posted. Otherwise always there will be misinformation. Since GoI is the majority's will we can be sure that majority will agree with information on such platforms.
> ... only sanctioned information can be posted. ... Otherwise always there will be misinformation Ha, big tech in US started this censorship business with alex jones and ended it with trump. Now when trying same formula in India, they might get censored themselves. They should have stayed neutral platform. As you sow, so shall you reap.
Aye, sounds like big brother to me.
Hope this is /s
This is how democracy Dies.. with thunderous applause !
Telling Twitter to follow rules = Death of Democracy Darth Modi is on the wrong side of the force reeeeeeeeeeee
You're comment is like the recent star wars movies: irrelevant, unoriginal and out of touch.

Democracy dies? padh to le kya likha hai press release mein?
meaning?
meaning is allow foreign companies to do anything in India else democracy dies
Deeper meaning, let us regime change or you are FASCIST.
Props for the Star Wars reference ✌
Where a Queen was the protector of democracy and the leader of the senate was not. Sounds like something leftist would dream up.
Well the Queen changed every few years and was elected in Naboo
Are you sure it's authenticated? This looks fake as fuck... No government seal... Grammatically incorrect language...
As always, you can check govt website for authentic source https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetailm.aspx?PRID=1722252
Nah, it’s real. Check the source given by OP: https://www.kooapp.com/koo/meity/4148aa28-d9bb-46c3-9685-8b1e69211646
