Twitter introduces Tamil Topics, adds second Indian language to feature
Live MintTwitter India has introduced Topics, its content-based post filter, in Tamil. However, the company continues to have a significantly smaller user base in comparison to the likes of Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, as well as homegrown social media platforms such as ShareChat – which as of May 2022 had 180 million monthly active users. In 2019, ex-Twitter India managing director, Manish Maheshwari, said in an interview that over 50% of all tweets made by Indian users were in local languages, as the company attempted to build a greater user base in the country. The court filing came in response to a letter served to the company by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in June, which urged Twitter to comply with its content takedown orders – or subsequently lose the safe harbour protection accorded to it under the laws of the land.
