After India's stern warning, Twitter has finally bowed before the central government. Twitter has suspended the Twitter account of Caravan magazine in the case of spreading fake news. Recently, India had warned Twitter that if Twitter does not investigate in the case of fake news, then an investigation will be done against Twitter.
The investigation comes after the Center had made it clear to Twitter that if the social media platform Twitter is following the recent order of the Indian government to remove the tweets related to the alleged 'farmer massacre', then the top Twitter management in India will get strict punishments. It may face investigation, which may include imprisonment of 7 years. According to the notice issued by the Ministry of Electronics IT, in addition to the jail term or fine, the government can also ban the social media platform Twitter in India to inspire the movement with the aim of instigating tension in the society.
The notice issued by the Department of Electronics and IT has said that this has led the campaign to create misuse, inciting tension in the society on the unproven basis. The department also said that instigation for genocide is not freedom of speech, but a crisis for law and order. Twitter has unilaterally unblocked accounts tweets despite the government's order, the notice stated that Twitter is an arbitrator and is bound to follow the government's directive. If Twitter violates the orders of the rules, Twitter is inviting a legal inquiry for itself.
After a stern warning from @GoI_MeitY Twitter has withheld and suspended the accounts which spread fake news related to #FakeFarmersProtest.
