@IndiGo6E @IndiGo6E And don’t ask me to “DM details” when it has failed to take in any message. Stop pushing customers in circles and take responsibility for your broken process.

Dear Indians, Let's take a moment from Israel-Gaza and read this! #SaveManipur
MHA asks NIA to probe Kuki, Zomi militant groups for Manipur unrest as talks continue https://t.co/49I9sQmt9C via @IndianExpress

The #Meiteis are not asking for extra cushioning, but to be treated and protected like any other ethnic community in the region.
Another Must Read! One of the few articles that cuts the noise #SaveManipur @ndtv

A MUST READ. "The #Manipur crisis is the result of a complex conflation of issues that cannot be explained by lazy analysis such as ‘Hindu majoritarianism’, or ‘anti-Christian violence’." @firstpost

@talktosanjai Well, America is a big advocate of equality.

@Independent Why does ur headline read like some filthy Kuki trolls?Did they tell you they eloped?And even if they did, what's point here? #SaveManipur
Manipur protests flare up into fresh violence over deaths of ‘eloped’ couple https://t.co/2PsfcAr0zF

Lessons learnt. Fellow #Meiteis, next time don't complain when they don't write our stories. Instead be wary, when they start writing about us. ;) #SaveManipur #MeitesforPeace

[bidya sapam @bsapam]

When all this is over, got to detox myself from referencing as Meitei Hindus . Never in my life I knew we identify ourselves this way. The idea of praying to Hindu gods has never been source of identification for us unlike rest of India. #SaveManipur

[bidya sapam @bsapam]

If anything, being a Meitei takes precedent over everything else. But thanks to mainland Indian media's obsession with caste and religion, the age old ethnic tension and fight for land and jobs got the biggest plot twist in 2023. #Meiteis

One of the most interesting and extensive work from the @OversightBoard. If anybody's curious how Meta moderates content on Facebook and Instagram under its highly controversial Cross-Check policy, this is one hell of a work you shouldn't miss out.

[Oversight Board @OversightBoard]

In today’s policy advisory opinion, the Oversight Board calls for major overhaul in the treatment of high-profile users on FB and IG.

We also urge Meta to prioritize protections for speech that is important from a human rights perspective rather than based on business interests.

[Oversight Board @OversightBoard]

Independent oversight of content moderation has a vital role to play in building trust in platforms and ensuring users are treated fairly. This is a model we have been proving since 2020. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss Twitter's plans in more detail with the company.

[Patrick Moelleken 🇺🇦 @PMoelleken]

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.
#StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

Heartbreaking. Leaving a restaurant in Kyiv tonight, and the waitress grabs my arm. “Are you leaving Ukraine? My husband thinks we should leave. But we have two cats and we can’t leave them.” I wouldn’t call it panic, but it feels like previously chill Kyiv is now very nervous…

@UrbanPixxel But may be we need a superstar's son's arrest to see how corroded the system is.!

[bidya sapam @bsapam]

America, can you please do something about the lawn mower? It's loud and noisy. Can't see them deprived of your magical technological touch that is all over the place! #randomWeekendthought #nevermind

[bidya sapam @bsapam]

@UrbanPixxel @dugalira @HDFCBank_Cares @RBI Is it that easy to change address on aadhar? Can it really be done online? About 2 months ago when I updated phone no., I had to go to aadhar centre. Actual process ws quick but still had to the biometric including eye scanning etc.. plus the long queue!

[bidya sapam @bsapam]

@Delta After screwing people's plan with your reckless service, the least you can do is try resolving an issue. Never seen such level of irresponsibility from an airline.
