In an interview with a US-based YouTube channel, Mr Dorsey said India requested removal of several tweets and accounts linked to the farmers' protest in 2020.

 

Twitter was also asked to censor journalists critical of the government, he alleged.

 

India has denied the allegations and accused Twitter of violating laws.

GOI Rebuttal:

Quote

Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that the allegations was an 'outright lie' by Jack Dorsey - perhaps an attempt to brush out that very dubious period of Twitter's history.

 

The minister said that as a matter of fact, Twitter was in non-compliance with law repeatedly from 2020 to 2022 "and it was only in June 2022 when they finally complied".

Some of these tech geniuses, e,g, Dorsey, Musk and Kirsch are kooks.  Another piece of evidence that we shouldn't necessarily believe people to be give good advice in something that they have not studied just because they are brilliant and credible in another.  Often, these geniuses have an exalted opinion of their own knowledge and supreme confidence in their knowledge of all topics, based on their undisputed brilliance in one. They are stubborn and stick to their guns even in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary, all in the name of "staying with principles." Same story with Novak Djokovic, as well.

A coalition of tech moguls are getting behind Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his challenge against President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination—despite the Kennedy family scion’s history of promoting vaccine skepticism and a string of other conspiracies.

Ironically, Dorsey's replacement is a cut of the same cloth. In the name of "freedom of speech," he is giving extra encouragement to dangerous charlatans like RFK Jr. and Ron DeSantis

 

The fringe right and fringe left in America have become strange bedfellows.
