Koo is the Indian government s latest weapon against Twitter

Reuters Twitter has been in a standoff in India over censoring accounts amid huge anti-government protests. Narendra Modi s Government has backed Koo, an app so similar to Twitter it even has a bird logo. The free expression app, which has been accused of hosting hate speech, doesn t moderate content. India s farmers protests put Twitter in a censorship standoff with the Indian Government, which reacted by backing Koo , the app mimics tweets and says it has no plans to moderate its content. Koo is just 10 months old. But Twitter s refusal to block accounts supporting the protests outside Delhi – where tens of thousands farmers have come to global attention in their bitter, at times violent, demonstrations against new agriculture laws – has been its making.

Legal experts say new guidelines on digital media regulation undemocratic

Express News Service NEW DELHI: Days after the Centre notified fresh rules on regulating digital media content in a gazetted notification, legal experts said the rules were draconian and undemocratic . The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 will change the way the internet will be experienced in India , said the Internet Freedom Foundation, an NGO that conducts advocacy on digital rights and liberties, in a post.   Medianama founder and digital rights activist Nikhil Pahwa said the new rules were undemocratic. On Thursday, the government had termed its new rules as ‘a soft-touch self-regulatory architecture’.   The impact of the guidelines is extremely worrying. The impact of these guidelines is similar to a law itself would have. It looks like the government is using rules to create a law without parliamentary scrutiny, said Pahwa.

New Rules for Social Media, Online Streaming Platforms Could Threaten Free Expression in India, Say Critics

Other Indian activists have also warned that the regulations could be challenged in court. I think these new rules are extremely worrisome because they are imposing a regulation on free speech and privacy without any backing of law, Nikhil Pahwa, founder of a digital news portal and a cyber activist, told AFP. In my opinion all these rules should be challenged in court and if they are, I doubt they would hold up. Facebook and Twitter, for whom India s 1.3 billion people are a key market, have said they are studying the guidelines. We look forward to continued engagement with the government of India to strike a balance between transparency, freedom of expression, and privacy, said a Twitter spokesperson.
