  Twitter is standing up to power in India, but (as many news organizations know) that comes with threats and duress to staff on the ground: Police In Delhi Have Descended On Twitter's Headquarters In The Country https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

  Seems to me that the report of a “raid” is misinformation. Surely it was an intimidating visit to twitter's office in India, but they did not seize anything nor ask for files or interview anyone. Language matters here because the BJP is most likely going to counter signal. https:…

  Governments around the world are following China's example and trying to stamp out dissent online. My amendment to the competition bill gives the U.S. tools to stand up to authoritarian censorship. https://twitter.com/...

  It's nice to see Twitter standing up to India's ruling party. And it's not surprising to see the ruling party ratchet up the intimidation of Twitter's employees in their Delhi office. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

  Like I said a few days ago, Twitter could have probably escaped this had they been open and transparent about WHY they decided to put the Manipulated Media tag on tweets by members of the ruling party. They declined to comment. Now it's back to bite them. https://t.co/giad9xYSos

  Delhi Police attempted to enter two Twitter offices in India's capital at 8 PM during a pandemic in which everyone was working from home. One of those offices has been...permanently closed. https://twitter.com/...

  Eyes 👀 on this. Deeply concerning action tied to decision to label a post as “manipulated media.” https://twitter.com/...

  Earlier, Indian police demanded that Twitter explain why they'd labeled a tweet of the ruling party's spokesperson as “manipulated media”. Now the police have actually raided Twitter's offices. https://twitter.com/...

  Twitter offices in India raided by police for tagging a tweet by a spokesperson of the ruling party as fake news ("manipulated media"). As social apps bow to pressure to arbitrate truth spoken by politicians these incidents will become more common. https://timesofindia.indiatimes…
