Twitter said on Wednesday it has taken actions on more than 500 accounts and reduced visibility of some hashtags in India in the past 10 days to comply with “several” orders from the Indian government after New Delhi threatened legal action against executives with American social network.

Twitter had suspended hundreds of Twitter accounts at the request of New Delhi last week, but then reversed its decision citing users’ freedom of speech. The company said on Wednesday that it was re-suspending most of those accounts, in some cases, permanently and preventing certain terms from appearing in the Trends section.
