Twitter is a mess in India. Here s how it got there CNN 3 hrs ago © CNN Illustration Twitter is going through an extraordinarily tough year in India. But the company s response to the turmoil has left even some people who would like to be on its side baffled. Silicon Valley s biggest tech firms have been locked in a tense stand-off with India over strict new information technology rules the government introduced in February. The rules are aimed at regulating online content and require companies to hire people who can respond swiftly to legal requests to delete posts, among other things and these executives may be subject to potential criminal liability if flagged content is not removed.
