Twitter challenges India order to take down tweets
Twitter has mounted a legal challenge in India against government orders to take down content. Sources familiar with the matter said the government had warned Twitter in June, saying it was the company's "Last opportunity" to comply with a number of blocking orders. During the farmers' protests Twitter briefly blocked some 250 accounts in response to a legal notice by the government, citing objections based on public order. Twitter restored the accounts in six hours, citing "Insufficient justification" for continuing the suspension. Last year in February, Twitter was told that it was "Welcome to do business in India", but it had to follow the laws of the country "Irrespective of Twitter's own rules and guidelines".
