Twitter should safely follow the future FB path of just turning off the algo amplification (recommendations, likes/follower counts) on all political content. Its not a big revenue source anyway and all it seems to produce in terms of outcomes is people attacking each other 24x7.
Let politics happen in the voting booth and parliament.
Ofcourse Narendra Momeme and his fan club owe their rise to social medias algo amplification design, as much as anything else, so its going to be interesting to see where the story goes.

Narendra Modi was 3 times Chief Minister of Gujarat much before Social Media even existed. He was already popular and a seasoned politician. And Congress being the weakest helped him a lot as well. You can probably attribute Social Media for Arvind Kejriwal's rise to power in Delhi as a more accurate representation of Social Media having direct impact on electoral politics. But to say Modi came to power only because of Social Media is the most ignorant take on Indian Politics.
