The Indian government has asked Twitter to provide information about 474 accounts and requested to remove or withhold content about 504 accounts on violating the law of the land in the first six months of this year. According to Twitter’s latest transparency report, it helped the Indian government in 5 percent of the information request cases and complied in 6 percent of cases for account removal requests.
A total of 115,861 accounts were suspended for violations related to the promotion of terrorism, down 30 percent from the previous reporting period. “Of those suspensions, 87 per cent consisted of accounts we proactively flagged using internal, proprietary removal tools”, said Twitter.
