Is India ready to grill Twitter and send a strong message before elections?

Live Mint  

After US President Donald Trump slammed Twitter for "shadow banning" Republicans last year — which the micro-blogging platform said happened owing to "technical glitch" — the company is now in the thick of a similar controversy in India. The allegation is that Twitter has bias against "rightwing" accounts as general elections loom — serious enough for the government to call Twitter for a hearing before a House panel. Vijaya Gadde, Legal, Policy and Trust and Safety Lead at Twitter, who accompanied CEO Jack Dorsey to India in November last year, had to apologize on the "Smash Brahmanical Patriarchy" poster row. The House panel has summoned Twitter India along with representatives from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology for the meeting to examine the issue of "safeguarding citizens rights on social media/online news platforms".
