“We can see that the company has started to take action,” a senior government official told ET.
Out of 257 Twitter URLs (uniform resource locators), or accounts, related to the hashtag ‘farmer genocide’ that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology<\/a> (MeitY) had asked Twitter to block on January 31, 126 aren't working, officials familiar with the matter said.
Out of the second list of 1,178 Twitter accounts flagged by security agencies as those of Khalistan sympathisers or backed by Pakistan, which the government asked Twitter to remove on February 4, 583 are no longer working, they said.
Twitter’s move comes after the government warned the US social media major of penal action, including jail term and fines, if it continued to ignore the government’s directive, and amid severl ministers and government departments joining homegrown microblogging app Koo.
The company had initially blocked a few tweets and URLs from the initial list of 257 but unblocked them soon after, prompting MeitY to warn Twitter.

MeitY, Niti Aayog<\/a>, and railways ministry also made their debut on the Indian microblogging platform in the last couple of days.

The company had also said it continues to be engaged with the government “from a position of respect”.
