Twitter and India play tug-of-war with democracy
Comment: In India, an increasingly authoritarian government combined with Twitter's willingness to put stakeholders before users raises questions over freedom of speech, writes Jillian C. York. Amid protests in India against three agricultural reform acts passed last September, the government - led by the ruling right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (or BJP) - has cracked down on dissenting voices online, demanding that social media platforms remove posts criticising the government's conduct. Twitter at first made a laudable effort to stand up to the government, but later backed down, complying with requests in a move that indicates the company's willingness to put profit before people.
