Yep. According to Indian laws, publishing the identities or pictures of rape victims (or their families) is illegal. Twitter really doesn't have a choice here.

- shadowgovt 5y agoWell, sort of. That's why I'm trying to figure out if they decided it was doxxing or if they decided it was illegal in India. There are separate procedures for those... Their policies for doxxing are global. But for content illegal in a region, Twitter will hide tweets that are illegal within that jurisdiction, but not globally (cross reference handling of Nazi support messages and imagery in France and Germany... Which, as a side note, creates the funny side effect that if you grab that channel of data for a specific tweet or account, you can tell if Twitter thinks a user is a Nazi sympathizer).
- malshe 5y agoIt looks like there is confusion in the way this is being reported. In some news articles they wrote accounts were locked. In one article it was mentioned that the tweets were made invisible.
