Spokesperson: Ms. Supriya Shrinate: She said This is an extremely important matter. Twitter is a platform, where common citizens in this country can voice their concernsand what’s ailing them. The founder and former CEO of twitter Jack Dorsey asserts that when the farmer agitation was happening in India against the three farm laws, the Modi establishment, the Modi government pressurized twitter to block accounts that were showing farmer protests, otherwise they would be raided, their employees would be raided and twitter would be shut down in India. It is evidently clear that opposition voices are regularly suppressed at the behest of the Modi government.

I will also very briefly speak about the data breach that has happened in CoWIN. The Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology has come on record to say that this breach is to a previous data breach and stolen data.

Telegram bots are giving out sensitive information because you had registered sensitive information on the CoWIN App. And guess what- the data of R. S. Sharma, who vouched for the safety of the CoWIN App, is also found online along with his passport number! And the government’s defense is that this is a previous breach. Did you report the previous breach? How did a third party get access to this? Each time you lie you open a Pandora’s Box.

So, the reality is that you cannot keep the data of crores of Indians safe, but you want to coax platforms into submission because they show you the truth. Tuesday, June 13, 2023
