India has rejected claims made by social media platform Twitter’s co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey that the government had applied pressure to shut down the platform’s operations in the past. Dorsey made these accusations during an interview with a YouTube program. However, India’s government has called these claims an outright lie and dismissed them as false. This spat highlights the complicated relationship between New Delhi and the microblogging platform, and social media in general. Twitter was sold to Elon Musk for $44 billion last year. The exchange has called into question the ongoing discussion around regulating social media in India, as the government strives to address the issue of online abuse and misinformation.
