Twitter: 'Threatened to shut down Twitter in India' Jack Dorsey's allegation was told by the central government as a lie


Posted on 13th Jun 2023 10:37 am by rohit kumar

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey claimed that India was 'pressuring' him to close the account opposing the government during the farmer's movement. Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has now retaliated on his claim. He said that Darcy is lying outright. Twitter has repeatedly violated Indian law.

 

Twitter was repeatedly violating Indian law

The Union Minister said, "This is a blatant lie told by Jack Darcy - perhaps an attempt to erase that very questionable period in Twitter's history. Under Darcy and his team, Twitter has been repeatedly and consistently violating Indian law." They were repeatedly violating the law from 2020 to 2022 and finally complied in June 2022. No one went to jail and no Twitter 'shutdown'."

 

What did Jack Darcy say?

Twitter co-founder Jack Darcy claimed during an interview that the Indian government was pressurizing him to block the account covering the farmer's movement. Such accounts, which were opposing the government, were asked to close them. Not only this but there was also a threat to shut down Twitter in India.

 

Received request to close the account of journalists

The former CEO of Twitter said that the Government of India had requested to close the accounts of such journalists who were criticizing the government regarding the farmer's movement. It seemed to me that if Twitter does not do this, it will be shut down in India and its employees' homes in India will be raided. However, Darcy said that India is a democratic country.

 

Turkey also has to face the problem

Darcy said that Turkey also faces the same problem as India. The government there also threatened to shut down Twitter. Darcy was answering a question in which he was asked whether he had faced pressure from foreign governments over the years.
