As former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey claimed that the Indian government threatened to shut down the platform and conducted raids on its employees, outgoing CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has shown a better understanding of Indian laws. Musk expressed willingness to comply with India’s strict social media laws rather than risk having his people go to jail during a Twitter Spaces interview with the BBC. Musk made this statement after Twitter took down links related to the BBC’s contentious documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in addition to reflecting an awareness of the country’s strict social media laws. Dorsey’s claims were dismissed by Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, as an attempt to brush out that very dubious period of Twitter’s history. The Minister clarified that while Twitter was frequently in non-compliance with India’s laws, no one was ever raided or sent to jail. All social media intermediaries operating in India must comply with laws to guarantee a secure, trustworthy, and accountable internet.
