Twitter emphasised that it will continue to advocate for the right of free expression of its users and that it is âactively exploring options under Indian law â both for Twitter and for the accounts that have been impactedâ. The microblogging platform had been asked by the government to take down multiple accounts that were sharing misinformation and provocative content around the ongoing farmers' agitation. It had also been warned of penal action for non-compliance.
