Twitter has received a final ultimatum by the Indian Government for failing to take action against the accounts spreading offensive hashtags and comments misleading the users on #FarmersProtest.

A detailed notice including dozens of judgements by SC and important constitutional benches has been sent to twitter. The notice also includes a warning to register a case against twitter if it fails to comply with the legal orders.

Government warns twitter

After which, conditions have became even worse as recently a hashtag mentioning that PM Modi is planning a farmer genocide started surfacing on the twitter.

Government ordered twitter to take strict against such posts and has also reprimand twitter in the recent statement. Here's what it reads:

"Twitter cannot sit as an appellate authority over the satisfaction of the authorities about its potential impact on derailing public order. It is only an intermediary."

The statement further reads, twitter has to obey the legal orders by Government or else it has to face penal action. In addition to this, it is also advice not to take the role of court and remain as an intermediary as mentioned in the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Following to which Kangana Ranaut, Akshay Kumar, and many more celebs have also urged users to stand together in tough times and don't fall for those creating differences.

Rahul Gandhi has also expressed his concern on current scenario saying BJP-RSS has torn India's image on global platform.

Till now, there has been no decision whether the government would take the laws back or not. But, the role twitter is playing in the protest is surely seen serving less as a medium and more as a ground for spreading hatred.
