The Indian government just acceded to the WIPO treaties that the DMCA is a result of. Twitter is required to comply with takedown notices, just like Indian websites would be.

Agree & the law should apply to all equally, not exclude the privileged.

Sport associations and broadcast rightholders send many takedown notices. BCCI for instance has sent hundreds of such takedown notices for cricket clips uploaded online. IMO the best way to protect citizens' interests in this case is transparent appeal process and fair use rights

Dear Aroon, I don't think you got what Smriti ji is saying... Remember, 'a rule is a rule even to a fool'... So, was it only copyright violations in some cases?? Check thishttps://twitter.com/TajinderBagga/status/1018744963700412417?s=19 …

DMCA notices are a matter of public record. But filing one for a random user — and not doing so for a highly followed account like Rahul Gandhi's — is entirely the discretion of the rightsholder. And considering the bad optics of DMCA'ing a politician, I can see why this happened
-
Arguendo ——Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law”

Absolutely. And laws like DMCA give rightsholders both the expansive power — and their own discretion — to file takedown notices against whoever they want. If I were a lawyer handling these takedown notices, I'd feel way less empowered to file one against a politician's handle.

Twitter also proactively and immediately discloses DMCA notices that they have received on Lumen. There isn't one against Rahul Gandhi's tweet. DMCA is a notice-based law, intermediary platforms are not liable to proactively remove content on their own. https://lumendatabase.org/notices/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FRahulGandhi%2Fstatus%2F1017632583226675205&sort_by= …

Two awful things that are sticking out of your tweet are: 1) You have quoted an Abusive Handle who got infamous for abusing Gauri Lankesh after her Death, 2) You do not care about or adhere by Copyright Laws. As a Minister, you are setting wrong examples.https://twitter.com/smritiirani/status/1018738262024900608 …

no surprise at all, they usually do it and encourage the trolls. The same minister was in silent mode when bakths abused

They say it's DMCA copy right issue, But Shikanji Baba posted the same video. I guess his account is working. What made the difference!!! Ohhh Yes, it's the "Antonia-effect."
