Musk unaware of Twitter takedown of Modi documentary
Commenting on the issue of Twitter taking down content related to a critical documentary of India’s PM Modi, Musk said he was unaware of the situation.
Elon Musk has commented on the issue of Twitter taking down content related to a critical documentary of India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, earlier this year.
Musk declared not to be aware of the details of the situation. He added that the rules in India for what can appear on social media are strict, and companies like Twitter must comply with the country’s laws.
In January, the Indian government instructed the blocking of a BBC documentary critical of Prime Minister Modi, including clips via social media. In fact, the government ordered Twitter to block over 50 tweets linking to the video of the documentary. While the documentary was not aired in India, it was uploaded to some YouTube channels.
