Twitter Indian Account Suspensions
Jan. 9th, 2020 03:50 pmI've been reading up on the specific events that caused the influx of Indian users to Mastodon from Twitter. I saw bits and pieces about this earlier, but am getting more details now. Here's a couple of articles that talk about what happened:

Apparently, it involves Twitter's treatment of Indian lawyer Sanjay Hegde, but the first article also talks about some of the other things Indian Twitter users have been objecting to. The second article gives a bit more background for Sanjay Hegde's case.
