Twitter India has blocked the account of Canadian-Punjabi singer Jazzy B. The account has been banned at the request of the Indian government. The singer was really active on the micro-blogging site and was sincerely tweeting about the ‘farmers protest’ ever since the farmers started protesting back in December 2020.

Twitter clarified in its help centre section, “… if we receive 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. 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).”
Although, an official statement from Twitter India on the same is awaited.
