Removing
tweets is easier than ensuring oxygen supply in India
Thousands
across India have expressed outrage at the government's order to remove tweets
from Twitter criticizing government measures to deal with the corona virus.
A
Twitter spokesperson has confirmed that it has banned the viewing of certain
content in India.
The
case comes at a time when corona cases are on the rise in India and hospitals
are facing oxygen shortages.
One
Twitter user criticized the government, saying "it is easier to remove
tweets than to ensure oxygen supply."
It
should be noted that in the last 24 hours, 352,991 new cases of corona have
come to light in India while 2812 more people have died in the same period.
Twitter
has said that the Indian government has issued emergency orders to censor
certain tweets on the global government order tracking platform Lumen.
However,
Twitter did not say what kind of content it had removed, but media reports
indicate that a tweet from a West Bengal politician has been removed, in which
he directly blamed the minister for the deaths. Prime Minister Narendra Modi
was held responsible.
In
addition, the tweet of an actor who has criticized Mr Modi for holding
political rallies amid the devastation of the virus in the country has also
been removed.
Twitter
said in a statement that when it received a "legitimate legal
request", it considered it and that India had cited the Information
Technology Act 2000 in the matter.
"If
it is against the law of a particular region and not against the rules of
Twitter, it removes it from that particular region," Twitter said.
A
government official said the content that was removed was misleading and could
spread panic, while Amal Chandra, a Twitter user, wrote, "All of India is
scared, citizens are looking for emergency help and life." While
cooperating in support and holding the government accountable, the Indian
government is imposing censorship on social media instead of saving lives.
Condemnable.'
A
user named Kajol Srinivasan posted a picture criticizing censorship and wrote,
"The system has launched a new mask." And it's not a mask, it's a
taped picture on the face.
One
user quoted Twitter as saying that the government had removed 52 tweets that criticized
the government for handling epidemics.
