Twitter Responds to Government Orders, Says Direction to Block Accounts Inconsistent With Law | Read

Twitter on Wednesday released a blog post to provide updates on its response to blocking orders from the Indian government. The company said it believed actions directed by the government for blocking accounts were inconsistent with Indian law. However, Twitter mentioned that it did take action on hundreds of accounts beginning January 26 - including suspension of more than 500 accounts. The latest update comes just days after the government reportedly warned the US microblogging platform it would face penal action in response to its operations during the ongoing farmers' protest in the country.
