I read the post, but it looks like you did not understand my comment.

The OP India article reproduces a small subset of the censored tweets that is disinformation. The government action here is not too problematic.

The Wire article, and the Medianama article, reproduces a different subset of blocked tweets. Those are certainly NOT disinformation, were made by very prominent individuals (elected MPs and MLAs) and were blocked by the government because they were highly critical. This is the problem.

> Unless you have a source that includes other tweets which are accurate.

I do: the wire.in article mentioned above and the medianama article I linked to on another thread. If you are in India you may need a VPN to see them. I am not going to reproduce them here out of the same concerns as the editors of The Wire and Medianama.

It saw Vindo Kapri name in Medianama article. That is the who posted a old picture as what is hapenning now.

were made by very prominent individuals - does not mean its true. That too coming from elected members, heh even journalist are tweeting incorrect information. Without checking the tweets we cannot come to any conclusion.
