The government today vehemently rebutted Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's allegation of receiving "many requests" from India to censor accounts critical of the government and those reporting on farmers' protests, as well as threats of shutting down the platform. In a tweet, Union IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar blasted the comment as an "outright lie by Jack Dorsey, perhaps an attempt to brush out a dubious period of Twitter's history".
