It still is. Let me explain, in India MSM cannot be trusted (they are called godi media aka modi's lapdog media) . Even though SM also routinely blocks & throttles opposition and jounalists to favour the majoritarian Hindutva (aka violent Hindu supremacists). they cannot block/ throttle everyone and information could still get out and reach people. Those who who didn't wish to be tracked could access this info without having to log in to twitter and risk their identity being exposed to the govt. Now that access to info is blocked.

TW: violence, SA

rn, one of our North-Eastern states Manipur, is experiencing large-scale & intense govt. backed communal & sectarian violence ( a govt. backed ethnic cleansing) The situation is ghastly.
100s have been killed, 4000+ weapons have been stolen from the army, girls & women have been gang-raped. the mob burned alive an injured 7 year old ichild, his mother and his aunt inside an ambulance. Since the violenece is govt. backed, neither the central govt nor the sstate govt is interested in quelling it and their pet godi media has either blanked it or is spouting the state govt.'s lies. The only way, the rest of India is able to know details (to organize civil society protests) is through SM.
