NEW DELHI: Social media platform Twitter on Monday temporarily suspended the account of Prasar Bharti CEO Shashi Shekhar Vempati, news magazine The Caravan, the Kisan Ekta Morcha collective, and several others “in response to a legal demand.”
However, Vempati’s account was restored hours later. “The twitter handle of CEO Prasar Bharti has now been restored. Thankful to Twitter for clearing up the confusion,” tweeted the public broadcaster through its official handle.
On 30 January, Vempati had voiced his concerns over some provocative hashtags trending on Twitter, which he believed to be fomenting rumor mongering and disinformation, and urged the platform to take immediate action against handles that were tweeting with the hashtags.
