Twitter chief Elon Musk on Wednesday (June 21) said a social media platform has no choice but to follow the local laws in any given country or risk being shut down.
Mr. Musk's comments came in response to questions on Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's allegations that the Indian government had threatened the social networking platform with raids if it did not take down content that was critical of it during the protests against the three farm laws (since repealed).
"Twitter doesn't have a choice but to obey local governments. If we don't obey local government laws, then we will get shut down," he told reporters after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York.
