The government today reacted sharply to Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's allegation of "many requests from India" to block accounts critical of the government and those covering farmers' protests. In a tweet, Union IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar called it an "outright lie by Jack Dorsey, perhaps an attempt to brush out a dubious period of Twitter's history". In an interview to YouTube channel Breaking Points on Monday, Jack Dorsey was asked if he had faced any pressure from foreign governments.
