Just what then, as soon as Dorsey spoke so much, all the opposition parties became active. Farmer leaders are also supporting Dorsey. But the previous record of Jack Dorsey whose statement is being taken hand in hand by the opposition and farmer leaders would have been checked. This is the same Jack Dorsey who waved objectionable posters on Brahminism in his hand, showing Leh as a part of China. Jack Dorsey was also accused of influencing the US presidential election. Attack on India’s sovereignty, running anti-India agenda etc. Now that Jack Dorsey has made the allegation, he is also reminded of the controversies during his time. Might have forgotten.
Jack Dorsey’s allegations and Indian government’s response
Jack Dorsey is probably out of work since being stripped of the CEO position of Twitter. What he said in YouTube channel Breaking Points has become the headlines of today. Said that the Government of India had asked him to close any Twitter account related to the farmer’s movement. For not doing so, Twitter’s office was raided and Twitter was asked to be shut down in India. Dorsey crossed the limit when he compared India to Turkey. Said that Turkey had also threatened him to shut down Twitter in his country. Union Minister Rajiv Chandrashekhar lashed out at these allegations of Dorsey. He said that his claims are false. Chandrasekhar, on the contrary, accused the CEO of Twitter that the micro-blogging site had broken the rules several times between 2020 and 2022. Jack is trapped after his own statement. When Jack said that he probably forgot that the Government of India had threatened to close the office. Neither the office was closed, nor was any arrest made. Yes, it definitely happened that this anti-India agenda was run through Twitter.
Where was Jack when the anti-India agenda started?
Jack made such a big allegation on the Government of India from a foreign platform. Forgot that anti-India agenda was run against India through Twitter, then no action was taken from their side. India was repeatedly warning by citing the law but Jack did not accept it. Then he was flouting the law of the Government of India. Now people supporting Jack will ask which anti-India agenda. Let’s pay attention. Go back 2 years from today. Means the year 2021 and this is the month of June. Twitter had shown Leh as part of China during its live broadcast. As soon as the news of this came, the Government of India issued a warning to Twitter and said that it is illegal to show the map in this way. Jack was the owner then. Why didn’t Jack act on it then? Then when all these allegations were made, Twitter defied the Government of India itself.
Now let’s talk a little more. Twitter’s anti-India agenda will be further exposed. On March 2, 2023, journalist Matt Tybe had told that about 40 thousand such Twitter accounts were asked to be closed which were of Hindu nationality. It was said that all were workers of Bharatiya Janata Party. So was the removal of blue ticks from the accounts of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, all RSS leaders and former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu a step? But it turned out that the list was of such American people and they had nothing to do with India and its politics.
Remember the Farmer Genocide hashtag during the farmer’s movement, Jack?
In the year 2020, the farmer’s movement made headlines not only in India but also in foreign media. At that time, an attempt was made to weaken the image of the country by trending #FarmerGenocide on Twitter. India then asked Twitter to shut down tweets associated with these hashtags and more than 250 accounts using it. Twitter closed them but then restored them again. It was cited that this is the freedom of expression of the people. Everyone advocates freedom of expression, but such hashtags, that too when a large number of farmers are agitating and you promote wrong things from your platform in this way. May the Government of India not take any such action on Twitter, the fear of which you are showing today. At that time, this platform was made a base for trending wrong things.
Remember that toolkit or forgot it?
Toolkits were posted from Twitter during the farmer’s movement. The toolkit was shared by environmental activist Greta Thunberg on her Twitter handle. It was clearly written about the strategy related to the farmer’s movement. It was written in it that how to get updates about the farmer’s movement? Keep an eye on the user’s tweet on farmer’s movement and which hashtag to use etc. In case of problems, whom to talk to, what to avoid, etc. were included in this toolkit. It was then that many videos and statements on Twitter were said to be manipulated or say distorted. There was a lot of controversy on this too. In the toolkit shared by Greta, people from all over the world were appealed to join the protests and support the farmers. He asked people to post #FarmersProtest or #StandWithFarmers by sharing photos or videos on social media. In this, after collecting information from the people, the government was also asked to share the video questioning the agricultural laws.
It suggested tagging India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, chief ministers of states as well as the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organisation, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Bank. Greta shared a toolkit whose cover headlined, ‘Will you be part of the largest protest in human history?’ Greta later deleted the post and shared the updated link but before that her screenshots went viral on social media.
What do you know about Brahminism who stood up with the poster?
Jack Dorsey came to India in the year 2018. Here he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shahrukh Khan. After this, a picture that surfaced created a ruckus. It was written in this picture, ‘Destroy the Brahminical patriarchy’. When Jack stood with the people supporting this poster, he had little idea what he was doing. Does Jack even know the A, B, C, D of Brahminism? Just stood up because it looked cool. If you had come on a tour of India, you would have met people, told your plans, roamed around India, but what did you try to show Ram Jaane Kya with this poster.
