Twitter bans about 54,000 Indian accounts
By MYBRANDBOOK
Twitter has banned 52,141 accounts in India for promoting child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity and allied content between August and September. The Elon Musk-owned micro-blogging platform also took down 1,982 accounts for promoting terrorism on its platform in the country.
Twitter received 157 complaints from users in India in the same time-frame through its grievance redressal mechanisms, and took action on 129 of those URLS. Twitter said, “In addition, we processed 43 grievances which were appealing Twitter account suspensions. These were all resolved and the appropriate responses were sent.”
It added, “We overturned none of these account suspensions after reviewing the specifics of the situation. All accounts remain suspended. We also received 12 requests related to general questions about Twitter accounts during this reporting period.”
The company said it “does not tolerate any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation -- whether in Direct Messages or elsewhere throughout the service”. Musk has also expressed grave concerns over reports about the presence of tweets beseeching child pornography on Twitter.
