Current Indian government had a positive outlook about Facebook. Events in US seems to have spooked many political parties. Facebook will have to spend a lot to control the narrative, though it will survive. Twitter on the other hand looks beyond saving, no strong man will trust it.
- chanmad29 6y agowhat is the difference between Twitter and FB that you are alluding to? AFAIK Twitter is facing more troubles with censorship- banning some prominent faces, while FB has been more lenient overall.
- chickenmonkey 6y agoThere's a difference in perception. Twitter in India has a larger proportion of academics (who tend to be left leaning), intellectuals, and a larger portion of the English speaking urban professional population. There's more scope for speech critical of the government on Twitter. On the other hand, Facebook is far more popular, and captures a broader cross section of the population whose political views tend towards the mean in India.
