“India made many requests of us” around the farmers’ protest and “journalists critical of the government”, Twitter co-founder and former chief Jack Dorsey said in a candid conversation about the pressures on the social media platform during an interview to YouTube channel Breaking Point.
On the alleged intimidation faced by Twitter if the company did not “follow suit”, Dorsey said: “It manifested in ways such as we will shut, be pulled down in India, which is a very large market for us. We will raid the homes of your employees, which they did. We will shut down your offices if you don’t follow suit. And this is India, a democratic country.”
