The government welcomes criticism, genuine requests for help as well as suggestions in the collective fight against Covid-19, but it is necessary to take action against those users who are misusing social media during this grave humanitarian crisis for unethical purposes, one of the people said. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) ordered blocking of the posts on a recommendation from the Ministry of Home Affairs. On Saturday, it was reported that Twitter had removed around 50 tweets allegedly criticising the central government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic on MeitY’s instructions. These included tweets of Congress MP Revanth Reddy, West Bengal minister Moloy Ghatak, actor Vineet Kumar Singh and two filmmakers, Vinod Kapri and Avinash Das, according to a post by tech portal Medianama.
