New Delhi Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in a stunning allegation claimed that the micro-blogging platform had faced government pressure and threats of shutdown during farmers’ protest, a statement that evoked a sharp rebuttal from Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar who termed ‘it an outright lie’.
Rubbishing the claims, the Minister of State for IT tweeted that Dorsey’s Twitter regime had a problem accepting the sovereignty of Indian law. “No one went to jail nor was twitter shutdown,” Chandrasekhar said. Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former Twitter CEO has alleged that during the farmers' protest the Indian government pressurised the microblogging platform and threatened to shut down Twitter in India, raid the homes of employees if it didn't listen to what was being told.
