On Thursday, microblogging site Twitter tagged a post by BJP’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra as “manipulated media”, a term used by social media platforms to denote fabricated or fake media, like videos or photographs. Twitter’s tag drew a sharp reaction from the Indian government, which termed the US-based company’s action as “biased”. However, this is the not the first time a post by a BJP leader or celebrity supporter has come under a cloud. This has also reopened the global debate over “fake posts” and free speech, with the right-wing often accusing social media platforms of being leaning towards the left and liberal.
