I do not necessarily have a problem with social media websites setting their own moderation policies, but for a long time it has been clear that twitter's actions in India are far from politically neutral.
I also find it funny that Americans who have raised so much noise over last few years about Russians "hacking" their elections consider another country's government trying to limit or regulate an American company's attempts to influence domestic politics as an authoritarian attack on free speech.
- dtwest 5y agoIt is important to point out that the Americans concerned about Russian hacking are often not the same Americans concerned with protecting free speech.
