After Trump, Twitter restricts the Official account of Modi's IT Minister in India!

Twitter

 

Nowadays, Twitter is playing a very dirty game with all its users, from snatching blue tick marks from official accounts to locking & restricting them or by limiting the original reach, whether it is President Donald Trump, BB Ki Vines, or any other big celebrity, each and everyone facing some issues with Twitter. Recently, IT Minister in PM Narendra Modi's Cabinet, Ravi Shankar Prasad informed people that he has no access to his Twitter account. It's unbelievable how can Twitter do such things with the IT minister of the World's Largest Democracy. 

Mr. Prasad who is Law & Justice, Communications, Electronics & Information Technology Minister of India also MP from Patna Sahib Lok Sabha informed: 

Friends! Something highly peculiar happened today. Twitter denied access to my account for almost an hour on the alleged ground that there was a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the USA and subsequently they allowed me to access the account.

Twitter’s actions were in gross violation of Rule 4(8) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 where they failed to provide me any prior notice before denying me access to my own account.

It is apparent that my statements calling out the high-handedness and arbitrary actions of Twitter, particularly sharing the clips of my interviews to TV channels and its powerful impact, have clearly ruffled its feathers.

Further, it is now apparent as to why Twitter is refusing to comply with the Intermediary Guidelines because if Twitter does comply, it would be unable to arbitrarily deny access to an individual’s account which does not suit their agenda.

Furthermore, in the past several years, no television channel or any anchor has made any complaints about copyright infringements with regard to these news clips of my interviews shared on social media.

Twitter’s actions indicate that they are not the harbinger of free speech that they claim to be but are only interested in running their own agenda, with the threat that if you do not tow the line they draw, they will arbitrarily remove you from their platform.

No matter what any platform does they will have to abide by the new IT Rules fully and there shall be no compromise on that.

However, she also lashed out at Democratic Representative Squalachi for his comments regarding the Green New Deal. Boebert argued that the Green New Deal and renewable energy sources are being forced upon people by the federal government, rather than allowing the market to decide.

Boebert also expressed her support for her own bill, H.R 1067, which she claimed would help reduce gas prices by providing certainty for energy producers. She questioned the Biden Administration's compliance with the leasing mand
