The previous Twitter takedown was not meant for posts critical of the government.
The government has ordered Twitter, Facebook, YouTube to take down over 100 posts and URLs.
Last week, the Indian government ordered Twitter to remove posts that were critical of its handling of the Covid-19 crisis. Twitter hid as many as 50 tweets from public viewing in India, informing users about the action that was taken to comply with India's IT Act, on the government's directive. A large chunk of these posts criticised how the Modi government is tackling the outbreak. The IT Ministry has now clarified that it ordered the takedown of only those posts that were found spreading misinformation around Covid-19.
