Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s co-founder, says India — despite its status as the world’s largest democracy — regularly issued requests for the social media giant to remove certain posts and accounts, often accompanying these demands with threats of legal repercussions in cases of noncompliance.

“India is one of the countries which had many requests around farmers protests, around particular journalists which were critical of the government,” said Dorsey.
