What is the actual tweet that is being "withheld globally"? It's impossible to fairly judge who's in the right here without knowing that. Shouldn't this info be published elsewhere if it's actually that important?

They’re in this article and seem pretty harmless to me (AKA someone who can’t judge the politics): https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/twitter-takes-down-post-on-home-minister-globally/article66711854.ece/amp/ https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/twitter-takes-down-po...

  "Mr. Das said he did not remember the exact context of the tweet." Sorry, I can't take this guy at his word. Oh I can't remember what I tweeted or why but trust me Twitter was unjustified in taking it down.

    Usually the party demanding global censorship bears the burden of explaining why they did the censorship. But I suppose if you’re determined to blame this guy then nothing I say is going to matter.

    So you think the person not remembering the “context” of a tweet which quotes a government official is sufficient to be ok with the global censorship of the tweet that does nothing but quote a government official. I don’t think your comment is indicative of being a lickspittle because you aren’t actually being asked to suck up to Modi and/or Elon by either of them. I’m not really sure how to describe your comment because it’s something much worse.

      Oh I'm sorry I expect to actually know what the content being deleted was before passing judgement on whether it's appropriate or not. I suppose I should switch my brain off and pick up a pitchfork whenever someone yells "censorship".

        The content of the tweet is in the article. He doesn't remember the context which is different.

    Sorry, I can't take your objections seriously. The tweet itself was pictured in the fine article. (Always a good idea to read TFA before commenting.) “Context” presumably means (exactly as per its definition) “in response to what”, etc.
