Former Twitter CEO Accuses India of Censorship, Government Denies Claim

India threatened to shut down Twitter and raid employees' homes, Jack Dorsey says.
India demanded the removal of content, including criticism of its handling of COVID-19. Twitter complied and later rescinded, citing freedom of speech.
The Indian government sought an "emergency blocking" of the Twitter hashtag #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide and numerous accounts during the protests.
Jack Dorsey alleged that the Indian government threatened to shut down Twitter if it didn't restrict accounts critical of the handling of farmer protests.
India was ranked fourth in terms of how many requests were made by governments to remove content, according to Twitter.
