Twitter suspended 500 accounts in India and said the Indian government issued takedown requests. The social media site temporarily complied but has since restored some of the accounts. This is happening as Narendra Modi's government cracks down on farmer protests. Twitter is looking down the barrel of a political disaster in India. In a blog post published Wednesday, the social media company said it has suspended 500 accounts in India who were "engaging in clear examples of platform manipulation and spam." It also said it blocked "certain terms" from appearing in its trending section, but did not say what these terms were.
