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.

The past month has seen an unusual, recurring news item dominate the media cycle: the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Indian government taking on the American social media corporation Twitter.
Matters were kicked off in February when a new set of rules for social media platforms and digital news outlets, called the Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code were announced. Amongst other things, they held that social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook needed to censor speech as per an expanded – and vague – set of definitions, set up a compliance team that resides in India and take down content within 36 hours of being ordered to do so by the government.
