Access Denied Unless Netizens Opt-in

Too Long; Didn't Read

Twitter has removed more than 50 tweets critical of Indian government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and did so at the request of the Indian government. The government even went as far as asking WhatsApp to comply with its " IT laws" It isn’t the first time that Twitter has bowed to pressure from Indian government. During protests by farmers in February, the company permanently blocked more than 500 accounts and removed others from being visible within India. It's possible to use virtual private networks (VPNs) to circumvent blocked websites, but local governments often have the power to shut down VPNs.
