In reality they take sides and push their agenda so this is bound to happen. Companies coming together to de-platform Trump and Twitter CEO admitting that twitter employees are left leaning are very good examples of why this would happen.
In the US if you have a non left leaning company that’s a bad thing because in the US the center is so far right that the majority of left leaning people look wildly right wing from a European perspective (which is where the right left view of politics comes from), and the majority of the people on the right are either delusional or scamming.

> the democratically elected Government
The democratically elected government was elected for a million different reasons, but their proficiency at managing social media networks was not one of them. And, you know, controlling every single social network is just a bit more dangerous than controlling one.
Someone upstream made a ridiculous comparison to Donald Trump, whose Twitter was shut down because he had just incited violence.
Well that was the extent of what was or could be done to him.
With this law, and the way the current Indian government acts, your Twitter shutting down would be the least of your worries. The government would send its goons in uniform to arrest you, probably illegally (the way the 20 year old activist was illegally arrested, then illegally transported to a different state by the police so she could be denied bail in a friendlier jurisdiction), denied bail for months at end, unless they are the lucky few whose bail application reaches a higher court, which hasn’t been as ridiculous as the lower courts yet, beaten up, have the internet cut off, etc.
The current Indian government deserves absolutely no benefit of doubt because they continue to enact anti democratic measures, while destroying the economy, even though they were lectured solely on promises of improving the economy (their destruction of the economy began well before the pandemic...Dec 2016 to be precise...just look at a GDP growth chart and it peaks in Dec 2016 and makes an abrupt turn going from increasing growth to decreasing growth right then. Anyone with a passing knowledge of India knows which disastrous, and completely politically motivated decision ruined the futures of hundreds of millions of people).
That 20 year old activist (Disha Ravi) you refer was arrested because she was clearly involved (via the document shared by Greta Thunberg) in seditious activity towards the sovereign state of India, nothing illegal or unethical about that I guess! She was carted off to a different state because the outcome of her illicit activities could have led to more violence in that other state hence it would be apt that she face the courts within that state's jurisdiction.
There has been not a single incident of anti-democratic measure from the current Indian government, it would be more than interesting if you could provide rational, logical and judicially verifiable information to counter that.
From your tone and attitude, it looks like you have some kind of unwarranted grudge against the current government, most probably because you are a crony of the Congress who's sitting in the opposition, playing every game possible to topple the good natured environment created by the currently in power BJP government.
