NEW DELHI: Canadian-Punjabi singer Jazzy B’s Twitter account, together with three others, was withheld in India on authorities request on Tuesday, in line with a web based database, which tracks content material restriction on social media sites.
As per the data accessible, the union authorities had made the request on June 6. The singer, who has over 1.2 million followers on Twitter, had been regularly tweeting in help of farmers protesting the federal government’s agriculture legal guidelines of December 2020.
The different outstanding account belongs to Sukhdeep Singh Bhogal, a hip hop artist from Australia who goes by the stage title LFresh the Lion.
Bhogal has over 5,600 followers. “When we receive a valid legal request, we review it under both the Twitter Rules and local law. If the content violates Twitter’s Rules, the content will be removed from the service. If it is determined to be illegal in a particular jurisdiction, but not in violation of the Twitter Rules, we may withhold access to the content in India only,” a Twitter spokesperson mentioned.
