On Wednesday, Twitchy informed us that Twitter didn’t have a problem with Keith Olbermann telling his one million plus followers to harass a turkey hunter, nor did it have a problem with an account that called for the stoning of Jews or Farrakhan using their platform to call Jews termites. It did, however, seem to have a problem with a Louisiana-based artist who posted a video making fun of ISIS.
According to Twitter, the message violated Indian law—No, really! It’s not April Fools Day yet.
He not only upset India but he got scolded:
Bad boy ????????????❤

Twitchy noted: “Calling for the murder of Jews is fine, but making fun of ISIS–well, that’s just a bridge too far. Because of… Indian law?”
Why would India care about making fun of ISIS? It’s not a terrorist-supporting country, and the dominating faith is Hinduism (80%) not Islam?
You’re bound by Indian laws now. Good luck

Me too.

And Pakistani law, apparently.
Seriously, @jack. I would love to see the invisible guidelines your company uses because I can't find this stuff anywhere in the public ones.

Good luck with that.
Matt you just might have to:
Twitter is aweful for free speech. They are bias toward conservatives.

Watched the video that @SooperMexican and I made. I can only assume India are big ISIS fans if they made twitter take down a comedy video that we made years ago making fun of ISIS.

They will in 5 years

The @Twitter staff must be ISIS supporters. That’s the only way this makes sense. https://t.co/D44ccpLe1n

That is a possibility.

Funny, you don’t look Indian.

You know….he don’t
Oh and here is the “offending” video:
We have captured this mexclusive ISIS terrorist training video from terrorists in Iraq or Syria or something. We hope the United States military can use this very sensitive intelligence of our enemies to defeat them once and for all.
I don't know why the government of India is so angry at @SaintRPh over this video mocking ISIS, frankly, I think it's hilarious and brilliant. https://t.co/Fhkf6R2Qou
