Indian Govt. vs Twitter

The ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), in a notice issued late on Tuesday night, said Twitter had violated an order to block 257 accounts associated with the farmers’ agitation on the borders of Delhi. Late afternoon on February 1, over 250 accounts and tweets on Twitter - typically associated with the farmers’ protests in India - started getting blocked en masse, in response to what Twitter described as a “properly scoped request from an authorized entity.” Many of these had used the hashtag “ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide". While access to these accounts were reinstated a couple of hours later, the damage was done — that the social media giant had blocked access to hundreds of accounts at the behest of the government stoked fears of censorship. Neither the government nor Twitter has offered an explanation as to how these accounts were earmarked to be blocked. Section 69A of the IT Act gives the government power to block information if it is deemed to pose a threat to public order.

IT Ministry sends notice to Twitter, Remove inflammatory content or face jail and financial action

Making the Top news headlines India on Wednesday, the government warned Twitter to remove the "inflammatory content" on farmers' protests as per the released orders or be ready to face jail and financial penalty.

The action, under the IT Act Section 69A (3) can lead to a jail term of seven years for the senior officials of Twitter India as well as a financial penalty for the firm.

It was an ultimatum released by the government after Twitter, the microblogging site failed to comply by its orders to block 257 accounts that had used the hashtag #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide. Initially, the company did withheld several such accounts but later unblocked them claiming that the account holders have the right to speech and also that the content is newsworthy.

Some of these prominent Twitter accounts included Kisan Ekta Morcha (@Kisanektamorcha), BKU Ekta Ugrahan (@Bkuektaugrahan), Caravan magazine (@thecaravanindia), CPM leader Mohammad Salim (@salimdotcomrade) and activist Hansraj Meena (@HansrajMeena). The government claimed that these accounts were spreading inflammatory content.

On Wednesday, the IT ministry of India under the leadership of Ravi Shankar Prasad, sent a stern message to the company instructing it to comply by the order. The ministry claimed that the order was passed keeping the public order and well-being in mind.

In a notice sent to the company, the ministry said, “Twitter is an intermediary and they are obliged to obey directions of the government. Refusal to do so will invite penal action.”

“Incitement to genocide is not freedom of speech; it is threat to law and order. Delhi had witnessed violence on Republic Day,” the notice said,

“Twitter cannot sit as an appellate authority over the satisfaction of the authorities about its potential impact on derailing public order. It cannot assume the role of court and justify non-compliance,” the notice said.

Remove inflammatory content or be ready for jail, penalty: Govt to Twitter

NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday warned Twitter to either follow its orders regarding removal of “inflammatory content” on farmers’ protests, or be ready to face jail and financial penalty. The action, under the IT Act Section 69A (3), could result in up to seven years jail for senior Twitter India officials, and a financial penalty on the firm. The government issued the ultimatum after Twitter refused to comply with its request to block 257 accounts that had used the hashtag #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide. The company had initially “withheld” the accounts, but later unblocked them, citing “free speech” and “newsworthy” content. The accounts which had allegedly used the ‘inflammatory’ hashtag included Kisan Ekta Morcha (@Kisanektamorcha), BKU Ekta Ugrahan (@Bkuektaugrahan), Caravan magazine (@thecaravanindia), CPM leader Mohammad Salim (@salimdotcomrade) and activist Hansraj Meena (@HansrajMeena). An angry IT ministry, headed by Ravi Shankar Prasad, hit back on Wednesday, warning the company to comply with its instructions — which, it said, had been given keeping public order in mind and in order to diffuse tension and hatred. “Twitter is an intermediary and they are obliged to obey directions of the government. Refusal to do so will invite penal action,” the IT ministry said in a notice sent to the company, according to sources. It added that “motivated campaigns” and the hashtag were being run to “abuse, inflame and create tension in society on unsubstantiated grounds”. “Incitement to genocide is not freedom of speech; It is threat to law and order. Delhi had witnessed violence on Republic Day,” the notice said, while reiterating its request to block the accounts. “Twitter cannot sit as an appellate authority over the satisfaction of the authorities about its potential impact on derailing public order. It cannot assume the role of court and justify non-compliance,” the notice said. It also quoted more than half a dozen Supreme Court judgments, “including of Constitutional benches” on what constitutes public order and the rights of authorities. When contacted over phone, a spokesperson for Twitter refused to comment on the matter. The government had originally requested the company to block 257 URLs and the disputed hashtag on January 31 under Section 69A of the IT Act, saying they were “spreading misinformation about protests and has the potential to lead to imminent violence affecting public order situation in the country”. The notice further said that Twitter only blocked these accounts on the subsequent day (February 1, 2021) for a few minutes before it allowed them back on the grounds of freedom of speech as their advocate made a case before a government committee at 3pm. “It is thus clear that the offending tweets/hashtag remained in public domain and must have been tweeted and re-tweeted several times at the risk and cost of public order and at the risk of incitement to the commission of offences,” the notice said, adding that it is in receipt of the company’s reply where it has “declined to abide and obey” the order. The notice said that Section 69A of the IT Act provides jurisdiction to the government to direct an intermediary to block public access to any information generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource if the same is necessary or expedient in order to prevent incitement to the commission of any cognizable offence relating to public order. “It may be noted that as per the relevant provisions of Indian law, the intermediary is bound to comply with the order of the designated officer authorised by the Centre, and in case of non-compliance, statutory consequences shall follow,” it said. With regard to Twitter citing right to freedom of speech, the notice said the company has “no constitutional, statutory or any legal basis whatsoever to comment upon the interplay of statutory provisions with constitutional principles or to unilaterally read down the scope of statutory provisions as per its own understanding of the constitutional and statutory laws of India”.

The situation:

As a result of protests, critics have taken to social media platforms to express their views and spread word to the rest of the world. Both of these articles focus on the orders that Twitter has received from the Indian government to block more than 250 accounts, and the platforms refusal to fully comply with these rules.

Critics of India’s handling of the protests have taken to Twitter to spread their concern and disappointment following the protests. As a result of this, in February the Indian government ordered Twitter to suspend more than 250 accounts and as sought an “emergency blocking” of the “provocative” twitter hashtag, “#ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide” for fears of spreading violence. Twitter recently suspended hundreds of accounts but stopped short when asked to block accounts belonging to activists, politicians and journalists as Twitter believes such a move would “violate their fundamental right to free expression under Indian law.”

This decision has led to a statement by Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad where he warns platforms of “strict action” if they were “misused to spread fake news and fuel violence.” Prasad reported, “We respect social media a lot. It has empowered common people. Social media has a big role in the Digital India program. However, if social media is misused to spread fake news, violence, then action will be taken.”
