8 June 2021: Twitter has blocked Canadian-Punjabi singer Jazzy B’s four accounts, who has frequently tweeted in support of farmers protesting the government’s agriculture laws and in December last year joined thousands camps on the borders of the national capital.

The accounts were blocked, have been ‘geo-restricted’ which means that they can still be accessed from IP addresses outside the country, after a legal demand from the government.

For its deed Twitter stated that – ” When we receive a valid legal request, we review it under both the Twitter rules and local laws. If the content violates Twitter’s rules the content will be removed from the service. If it is determined to be illegal in a particular jurisdiction, but not in violation of the Twitter rules, we may withhold access to the content in India only.”
