Mega-hypocrites at Musk site go on bended knee to India's increasingly dictatorial regime, which is on the attack against free speech the government doesn't like. https://restofworld.org/2023/twitter-blocked-access-punjab-amritpal-singh-sandhu/

Pre-Musk Twitter fought back against these attacks, on principle -- a quality the current management profoundly lacks.

Twitter blocked 122 accounts in India at the government’s request

Last year, before Elon Musk took over as CEO, Twitter pushed back against such requests from the government.

Without undermining the main point, some corrections: He is more than somebody. Great grandson, grandson & son of ex PMs. A hereditary rights holder. He was convicted not for defaming India, but for a 2019 speech where he claimed many thieves are named Modi. Even as he is appealing the verdict, he was disqualified from the Parliament. But both are equally corrupt. It is Hartfield- McCoy
