      Twitter's new transparemcy report says India was the single largest source in terms of government requests for account information received by Twitter, accounting for 25 per cent of the global volume, in the July-December 2020 period.

      India also ranked second in the number of legal demands for content removal after Japan, according to Twitter’s new transparency report.

      Twitter releases a biannual report where it shares details on the number of government and legal requests, removal requests and data around accounts against which action has been taken, for various violations and breach of rules.

      Caught in a bitter standoff with the Indian govt, Twitter recently appointed a Resident Grievance Officer, days after it designated a Chief Compliance Officer, and released its first India Transparency Report to comply with India's new IT rules.

      About 94 per cent of the total global volume of legal demands originated from only five countries - Japan, India, Russia, Turkey, and South Korea.
