India police visit Twitter office after it tagged pro-Modi posts

Police visited Twitter Inc.’s empty offices in India on Monday following the company’s Friday decision to label multiple tweets from accounts linked to the country’s ruling party as manipulated media.

The unexpected visit happened late Monday after Twitter labeled multiple tweets for violating its synthetic and manipulated media policy, a person familiar with the matter confirmed. The policy forbids users from sharing things that "deceptively promote synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm.” Twitter’s offices globally have been shut since March 2020, with only Sydney presently open. It is not immediately clear why the police undertook the action.
