Quotes edit
- The action taken by Twitter against us raises questions about the very character of the social media since they had earlier claimed that they are just a platform on which people can freely express their views... If Twitter or, for that matter, Facebook, are just platforms they claim to be then how can they decide the nature of a content?... We had raised the issue even in the parliamentary panels that it was high time the government reviews the functioning of the social media platforms. I personally think the issue has become more relevant because of their persistent bias and should be looked into.
