The withholding of the Pakistani account transpired today only with the micro-blogging website’s clarification that the move was an outcome of a legal demand by the Centre.

In the later half of the year 2021, Twitter received 326 legal demands requesting to block content which were being posted by accounts of various news companies and verified journalists.

Out of these 225, around 114 came from India which accounted for over a third of total blocking orders. These orders were given by  Nations like India, Pakistan, Russia and Turkey, Russia and Pakistan being the top four demanding so to Twitter.
