Good. People are seeing this as a modi vs protester issue, but there is a far more bigger threat to democracy here.
Twitter as a company has no business in deciding which govt order it's going to follow.
A private company has no business in deciding what free speech is and what amounts to reasonable restrictions on it.
Sovereign powers should be safeguarded from usurpation by non constitutional elements. Not doing that is a dangerous path for a country, which we already went through with the British east india company , though the issue then was trading rights and right to tax people and keep armies, not free speech.
However if you feel that a particular order is wrong, then you need to approach the court or protest against the government , vote them out .
On that note most of the ministries in India are planning to move to https://www.kooapp.com/ https://www.kooapp.com/
- Hiopl 6y agoHonestly, it's scary to see how eager people are to uphold the law, completely divorced from morality or ethics. No, the law isn't absolute. The law isn't just. The law isn't moral. It isn't the only thing that matters. It shouldn't even be the main thing that matters. The biggest problem with capitalism is the eagerness of its keepers to bend to authoritarian influence and sustain authoritarian instances as long as there's money in it. It's the whole tolerance of intolerance paradox all over again.
