1 hour ago Hours after Twitter said that it is concerned for its employees after “intimidation” by the Indian government and its agencies, the Delhi Police responded saying that the micro-blogging platform’s statement was “designed to impede a lawful inquiry”. Later in the day, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) also responded to the statement calling it “baseless and false and an attempt to defame India to hide its own follies”. The Ministry urged Twitter to comply with the new IT Rules 2021. On Thursday, a Twitter spokesperson in a statement said, “Right now, we are concerned by recent events regarding our employees in India and the potential threat to freedom of expression for the people we serve. We, alongside many in civil society in India and around the world, have concerns with regards to the use of intimidation tactics by the police in response to enforcement of our global Terms of Service, as well as with core elements of the new IT Rules.”
