For years now, Kashmiri activists have been complaining about Twitter's policies regarding the Indian government Opinion | cjwerleman
“My account is withheld and shadow-banned in India, which is illegal, and Twitter says it doesn’t do it, but it can’t explain why people don’t see my tweets or replies without searching,” Helene Sejlert, a Swedish born human rights activist who has been speaking and writing on Kashmir for five decades, told me.
She sent me a screenshot of another notification that read, “@HerNameIs_Bea’s [her Twitter handle] account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand.” When pro-Kashmir activists seek an explanation from Twitter for why they’ve had their tweets deleted, marked “sensitive” or had their accounts suspended, they are typically told nothing.
Pro-Palestinian activists have long spoken out against this dynamic, claiming Twitter enforces a much stricter policy against them than it does with accounts that express support for Israel because of the United States’ “special relationship” with the Middle Eastern power.huge growth engine
