Twitter Suspended Over 48,000 Accounts Between Oct-Nov In India

Social Media company Twitter on Sunday revealed that it suspended 48,624 accounts on its platform for various policy violations. 

These accounts were suspended on due to promoting child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity. In addition, the platform also took down 3,035 accounts which were promoting terrorism on its platform in India.

“A vast majority of all accounts that are suspended for the promotion of terrorism and child sexual exploitation are proactively flagged by a combination of technology and other purpose-built internal proprietary tools,” Twitter mentioned in its monthly report in compliance with the new IT Rules, 2021.

Twitter received 755 complaints from users in India in the same time-frame through its grievance redressal mechanisms, and took action on 121 of those URLs.
