India urges Twitter to remove tweets critical of COVID manipulation from Censorship News
Twitter is holding back some posts, including those made by lawmakers, after the Indian government issued an emergency order.
The Indian government called on the social networking platform Twitter to remove dozens of tweets, including from local lawmakers, who criticized how India handled the outbreak of the coronavirus, as COVID-19 cases once again set a world record.
Twitter has retained some tweets following a legal request from the Indian government, a company spokesman told Reuters news agency on Saturday.
The government issued an emergency order to censor tweets, which Twitter reported in the Lumen database, a Harvard University project.
