Government Warns Twitter of Jailing its Employees if Offensive Content isn’t Removed
An official from the ministry of information technology has warned the micro-blogging website Twitter that its employees may have to pay hefty fines and face jail time of up to 7 years if they fail to remove objectionable content from the platform.
