India attacking Twitter’s double standard and politically motivated policies

India attacking Twitter’s double standard and politically motivated policies

India says "Twitter is playing with fire" over its failure to comply with a government order to block more than 250 accounts over farmers' rioters.

India is asking Twitter to apply the same standard and policies as they used in USA, by blocking Trump and his supporters to prevent protesters violence against democratically elected government.

But Twitter refuse to apply the same policy in India and actively supports the rioters in India and their violence actions against the Indian Government.
