The former Twitter CEO discussed efforts Twitter took to push back against takedown requests from India, Turkey, and other governments' repression.
“This is India, a democratic country,” an exacerbated Dorsey added. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dorsey similarly called out goverment officials in Turkey who “threatened to shut us down constantly.” In Nigeria, Dorsey claimed Twitter would not even station staff in the area out of fear they could be targeted by the government. India’s Deputy Minister for Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar quickly lashed out against Dorsey’s recent statements Monday, calling them an “outright lie.”“No one went to jail nor was twitter ‘shutdown,’ Chandrasekhar tweeted.
