Twitter warned by Indian government to kibosh inflammatory tweets

DNP Twitter warned by Indian government to kibosh inflammatory tweets

India’s in the midst of a security crisis and has asked Twitter to curtail “inflammatory messages” or prepare to face legal action, according to the Times of India. The country has shut down numerous websites, while Google and Facebook have already pledged to remove any threatening content. Officials reportedly said that Twitter “failed to cooperate” in efforts to curb messages or help the government find their source, despite an earlier pledge by the social network to censor content when a country demanded it. Indian ISPs have started blocking the service’s accounts, according to TNW, but not Twitter itself, as the site first reported. In any case, the country still has a long way to go to catch the censorship leader.
