No notice of blocking for anti-India activists; Twitter kept Indian litigants from their more deserving causes: Karnataka High Court

Published

on

In a recent ruling by the Karnataka High Court, Twitter has faced criticism for not promptly blocking accounts of individuals involved in anti-India activities. The court expressed its concern over Twitter’s inaction and highlighted the adverse effects it has on Indian litigants who struggle to receive the attention their more deserving causes deserve. This ruling has reignited the debate on social media platforms’ responsibility in upholding national interests and supporting the rights of Indian citizens. Let’s delve deeper into the implications of the court’s ruling and the larger issues at hand.

The High Court’s Observations:

The Karnataka High Court’s observations centered on Twitter’s failure to promptly take action against accounts promoting anti-India sentiments. The court highlighted that while Twitter has been efficient in taking down objectionable content in other instances, it often hesitates or delays when it comes to blocking accounts that spread anti-India propaganda. This delay, according to the court, is detrimental to Indian litigants who are unable to garner the attention they deserve for their legitimate grievances.

Impact on Indian Litigants:

The court’s ruling underscores the challenges faced by Indian litigants who struggle to have their voices heard on a global platform. While Twitter has become a powerful tool for raising awareness and seeking justice, the biased handling of anti-India accounts hampers the ability of genuine litigants to gain the necessary attention for their causes. This inequality in treatment has created a sense of frustration among those who rely on social media platforms as a means to address their grievances.

Role of Social Media Platforms:

Social media platforms like Twitter play a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing discourse. They have the power to amplify the voices of the marginalized and bring attention to pressing issues. However, this power comes with responsibility. It is crucial for these platforms to maintain an unbiased approach and ensure that all voices are treated fairly, regardless of their ideology or nationality.

Twitter’s Response:

In response to the court’s ruling, Twitter has maintained that it follows a transparent and impartial process in addressing content violations. They have emphasized that they act in accordance with their global policies, which are designed to maintain a balance between freedom of expression and preventing harm. However, the court’s observations raise questions about the consistency and effectiveness of these policies, particularly in cases involving anti-India activists.

The Way Forward:

The Karnataka High Court’s ruling serves as a reminder that social media platforms should not be selective in addressing content violations. It highlights the need for platforms like Twitter to be more vigilant in combating anti-India propaganda and promptly blocking accounts involved in such activities. A fair and unbiased approach is essential to ensure that Indian litigants receive equal opportunities to bring attention to their legitimate causes and find support within the digital sphere.

Moreover, this ruling emphasizes the importance of strengthening the legal framework to regulate the activities of social media platforms. Governments and relevant authorities should work collaboratively with these platforms to establish clear guidelines and mechanisms to address content violations effectively. Additionally, public awareness and digital literacy campaigns can empower users to identify and report objectionable content, fostering a safer and more inclusive online environment.

Conclusion:

The Karnataka High Court’s ruling raises valid concerns regarding Twitter’s approach to blocking accounts involved in anti-India activities. It highlights the negative impact this has on Indian litigants, who struggle to gain attention for their causes amidst biased handling of content violations. It is essential for social media platforms to reassess their policies, maintain impartiality, and actively support the rights of Indian citizens. By doing so, these platforms can contribute to a more equitable and inclusive digital landscape where genuine grievances are given the attention they deserve.

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.

Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.

Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.

Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”

The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.

Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.

Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.

The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.

The Congress’s manifesto promised legal guarantees to MSP, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, and a nationwide caste census.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress for its Lok Sabha election manifesto, claiming it was influenced by the Muslim League.

Modi criticized Congress’s manifesto, which he said reflected the same mindset as the Muslim League’s during the freedom movement, at a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, where voters will vote in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 19.

The Congress manifesto is largely influenced by the Muslim League, with any remaining parts being dominated by leftists.

The Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, stated that the BJP government is committed to implementing government schemes that cater to all sections, castes, and communities.

Modi’s attack comes after the Congress released its general election manifesto, emphasizing the ‘five pillars of justice’, including ‘Yuva Nyay’, ‘Naari Nyay’, ‘Kisaan Nyay’, ‘Shramik Nyay’, and ‘Hissedari Nyay’.

The Congress has pledged legal guarantees for the minimum support price, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, personal law reform, and a nationwide caste census.

Congress has announced that the MSP payable to farmer-sellers at procurement centers and APMCs will be directly credited to the farmer’s bank account digitally.

The grand old party announced that Congress will create and execute a robust import-export policy for agricultural commodities, prioritizing the protection of farmers’ interests and concerns.

The Lok Sabha elections will commence on April 19, with subsequent phases scheduled for April 26, May 7, 13, 20, 25, and June 1, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4.

The ruling party is threatening democracy by controlling independent institutions and using them to harass opposition figures, including former Jharkhand and Delhi chief ministers Hemant Soren and Arvind Kejriwal, in an unprecedented attack on democracy.

Fernandes, who previously lost to BJP’s Mauvin Godinho in the 2022 Goa legislative assembly polls, will face Pallavi Dempo, the first woman MP candidate named by the BJP, in the upcoming election.

Khalap represented the north Goa seat from 1996 to 1998, winning it for the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

Khalap, a seven-time MLA, is set to challenge BJP MP Shripad Naik for the North Goa seat, aiming to retain it for a sixth consecutive term.
