Twitter is blocking tweets that criticize the Indian government
The expectation that a corporation operating in India will not obey Indian laws but American ones is appalling.<p>EU, Canada, China, Turkey or North Korea - if you want to do business there you have to respect their laws.<p>“For profit US corporation fighting foreign government atrocities” is a deeply flawed idea.<p>If Indians believe that they need wider free speech rights or other protections, they need to change their political figures and laws accordingly. It’s unreasonable to expect that a foreign corporation will do that for them, it even might be the case that they(the locals) don’t want it.<p>Imagine the other way around, Italian company selling Kinder Surprise Eggs in US, Swiss company doing banking by the Swiss laws in US, Malta company running gambling in the US by the Maltese laws. Would they be considered fighting the unreasonable food regulations, toppling the oppressive financial laws or pushing against tyrannical gambling laws of the US? I don’t think so.
