He got fined by India and lost money for trying to protect anti-right wing free speech.
- andrepd 2y ago> He tried hard to protect left wing and left wing extremist free speech too. Can you give concrete examples of this?
- ripjaygn 2y agoModi tried to censor left wingers' speech, Twitter refused and sued the Indian government. It's in the linked BBC article.
- phatfish 2y ago"The instances cited by the government took place before X was acquired by billionaire Elon Musk in 2022. Under Musk's leadership, the company has complied with takedown orders." Twitter refused pre-Musk, X doesn't seem to have a problem doing what Modi says as far as I can tell.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoNo, the Twitter lawsuit continued under Musk. The court fine was under Musk.
- gls2ro 2y agoContinuing a lawsuit is not the same as agreeing with the initial claim. Sometimes, new leadership of a company continues lawsuits because stopping them will incur a huge penalty (in fines, restrictions, control, ...). But that does not mean they will have it started to begin with.
- mdhb 2y agoI love how you yourself haven’t even read the article. Your timing is all wrong here and your larger point is laughably wrong.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoThe article is from September 2023, like a year after Musk's takeover of Twitter, and it talks about Twitter not complying with the Indian govt orders in 2023.
