Musk haters^Wcritics: Do you think Twitter instead should block India?

Twitter can do nothing and allow Indians to use Twitter. India would block Twitter, not the other way around.

No one would have to be a "Musk hater" if he didn't prove himself to be a serial liar with no principles. Mark Zuckerberg is a soulless void of greed, but at least he never called himself a "free speech absolutist" or criticized anyone else for their stance on free speech. He lives in a gray area, which is where all people and organizations have to live.

Afaik Twitter still has one office left in India so there is some leverage against local directors etc.

Twitter Inc. has shut two of its three India offices ...

Does Musk care about censorship or not? It sure seems like he cares only when it's convenient for him.

Twitter should fight against this censorship, and if needed apply the minumum amount, which would almost certainly not be a _global_ block. They have geo blocks for exactly this purpose.

Not all of it, just the government.
