Twitter on Thursday said it is worried about the safety of its staff in India and called for the government to respect freedom of expression, days after Indian police visited its office in New Delhi over its labeling of a tweet by a governing party spokesman as “manipulated media.”
Twitter has been involved in a tense battle with the Indian government, which has often asked it to restrict content alleging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration is trying to silence criticism, including of its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Twitter said it has “concerns with regards to the use of intimidation tactics by the police” and “the potential threat to freedom of expression for the people we serve.”
India’s IT ministry called Twitter’s statement “totally baseless, false and an attempt to defame India.” It said Twitter should “comply with the laws of the land” instead of “dictating what India’s legal policy framework should be.”
LO FREAKING L
It must be hip to appear homeless while being filthy rich.
Dorsey is asshole.
Twitter has devolved into little more than an echo chamber for leftists, and an organization that actively engages in censorship for political purposes. Kick them out, India, and everyone will feel better.
He has that vacant look of someone who was transported to and from school on the short bus.
Last time I saw that guy he was taking a nap under a freeway overpass using a wine bottle in a paper bag as a pillow. Tell him to buzz off
I looked up hypocrisy in the Webster’s. It said see Twitter.
The Indians can’t even respect cowboys.
This asshole always has this look like he sleeps in a ditch.
I’d love to rip Rasspooter’s beard out one whisker at a time.
I don’t care what he looks like — it’s what’s inside that matters. He’s a hypocrite in every possible way. I pray for him and people like him. I pray that Jesus Christ reaches his hand down to this man’s heart and soul. The worst thing in the world for Dorsey would be to awaken in the middle of the night with self-recrimination. For many, many nights in a row. Prayer works.
I rock a much better beard than that Marxist tool. He looks like he lives in a dumpster.
AA,
Jesus has already reached out to him.
He was rejected.
