Pakistan government’s official Twitter account has been withheld in India on Saturday.
This account was withheld earlier in July as well but had been reactivated and was visible. Today, again the account displayed the message of being withheld in India.
“@GovtofPakistan account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand,” is seen while accessing the Twitter handle.
Currently, the Twitter feed of the Pakistan government “@GovtofPakistan” is not visible to Indian users.
Twitter policies state that this type of action is only taken in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.
“Such withholdings will be limited to the specific jurisdiction that has issued the valid legal demand or where the content has been found to violate local law(s),” the social media giant said.
Twitter also said that if it “receives a valid and properly scoped request from an authorized entity, it may be necessary to withhold access to certain content in a particular country from time to time.”
In June, Twitter in India banned official accounts of Pakistan Embassies in UN, Turkey, Iran and Egypt.
