Was asked to completely block multiple accounts during farmer’s protests: Twitter to Karnataka High Court
The microblogging site also argued that the law only allows the blocking of a particular tweet, and not an entire account simply because of political criticism unless there is evidence of a repeated offence.
Microblogging platform Twitter told the Karnataka High Court on Monday that it was asked by the Central government to block multiple accounts during the farmer’s protests that ensued in and around the national capital in 2021.
