eh. in india the government sets the boogeyman and the national media as well as the government troll factory just lap it up.

read these posts. india government calls anything critical of its actions on social media as "misuse" because it breaks the image of "worlds largest democracy".

Twitter is being assholes. they should just patch up like facebook which fully complies with government meaning facebook becomes the best monitoring and investigation portal for them. like the last time facebook had found some political influence on their software but once they found the ruling party was involved, they dropped the investigation

Nah. I like the increased scrutiny against Social Media companies that has come up.


Twitter should patch up and let a billion people have uncertain future on free speech (or at least what's left of it) amidst a blatant dystopia?


well facebook has done the same and they are much bigger than twitter so yeah why not?

the narcissist in chief demands his photo be plastered everywhere. anyone against that image is mowed down.
