Hours after Twitter on Monday withheld several accounts in India, it has started gradually restoring the handles. Among those accounts that were withheld earlier in the day were Caravan magazine and Kisan Ekta Morcha, a joint front representing the farmers protesting against the Centre’s agricultural laws. Twitter had said its action was in response to a legal demand.
“Is this tweet visible to Indian accounts?” tweeted Kisan Ekta Morcha, to verify if it had gained access. Caravan also shared two posts in a span of two hours. Activist Hansraj Meena, among various others whose accounts were suspended, confirmed that their handles have been restored.
