With Twitter becoming a platform for triggering unrest by nefarious elements, Government of India has told Twitter to remove 1178 Pakistani-Khalistani accounts spreading misinformation and provocative content around farmers’ protests.
India Today quoting sources reported that these accounts are being run from Pakistan and were tweeting about the ongoing ‘farmers’ protests in Delhi border.
The Government of India has sent a latest list of 1178 accounts to Twitter on February 4.
However, Twitter has not yet complied with the earlier orders of having 257 accounts blocked in India. Around 250 accounts were withheld for tweeting, or retweeting, with the #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide hashtag, and making “fake, intimidatory and provocative tweets” in connection with the ongoing ‘farmers’ protest. But the social media giant began unlocking some of them later.
