I wonder if this is actually more significant than the equivalent bans in China. AFAIK none of these companies actually had a business presence in China prior to being banned. So noncompliance didn't risk any of their local workforce - they could just say no, we're not censoring anything, and get blocked by the Great Firewall. Twitter doesn't have to block anything on their end because the censorship is all on the China side. You'll notice on any sort of politically sensitive social media content (e.g, Taiwan) that Chinese are perfectly able to access and troll these sites via VPN. Twitter can also slap the "state media" tag on CGTN and they can't do anything about it.

But FB has a huge presence in India and they can't just piss off that government without putting their employees at risk, as well as the sunk cost of their existing business. They'll actually have to block things on their end. You'll wind up with the same censorship-due-to-business-interests controversy that the NBA and other business operating in China have experienced over the past year.
