Six months ago, a 17-year-old girl living in Delhi's crowded Nawada neighbourhood decided to block her 20-year-old neighbour on social media.

“He was trying to be too friendly. I did not approve of his advances. So I blocked him.”

@upGrad_edu can you please stop calling customers who are not interested? I keep saying the same thing everyday to your agents but they seem to still call me!

Just a fluff stretching for kisses 😭❤🐇

PM Modi said respect for women is an important pillar for India's growth.
BJP cabinet minister defends release of convicts in #BilkisBano Case.
BJP leaders attend event hosted by another rape convict who’s out on parole.
Is this the respect for women that PM was preaching?

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

See ho many people are being killed for protesting the brutal death of #MahsaAmini, who was murdered by Hijab police for wearing improper hijab.
A headscarf is worth more than our life in Iran. I call on women in the world to show their solidarity.

[Rohini Singh @rohini_sgh]

The Additional Solicitor General’s passionate defence of a man who called for mass rapes and calling him ‘respected’ is alarming. The ASG owes an apology to India’s women. His statement in court today is shameful, condemnable and an insult to women.

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

The Prime Minister of the country needs to address the nation, he needs to talk the language on unity. This bloodshed needs to stop. The country needs a healing touch. This hate needs to end, it will destroy a generation of Indians if allowed to fester.

A person joined twitter in 2021 to get offended by a 2018 tweet and complain to the police about it.

Yeah ok. That makes complete sense. Totally worth investigating.

[Faye DSouza @fayedsouza]

The arrest of @zoo_bear is another attempt to intimidate and silence the media. This sort of intimidation should have no place in a democracy. Release @zoo_bear

[Neha Dixit @nehadixit123]

In solidarity with @zoo_bear.

In times of Indian media operated through a corporate political nexus, his hard hitting work, detailed fact checking have been important tools to keep truth at the forefront of all fights.

Release Zubair now!

[Mallikarjun Kharge @kharge]

Blinded by power, BJP is going after every voice of truth which exposes their bigotry and lies.
Hate mongers planting seeds of hatred in society roam around free but @zoo_bear who has relentlessly exposed them is arrested.

Modiji, you can never imprison the truth.

[Tanishka Sodhi @tanishka_s2]

Duty magistrate has granted Delhi Police custody of @zoo_bear for 1 day. Police had sought 7 days, saying that he was not corporating with the investigation.

Zubair will be produced again before the court tomorrow, after custody expires. @newslaundry

[Arfa Khanum Sherwani @khanumarfa]

Jouranlist Mohammed Zubair is a frontline democracy defender in India.
His fact-checking was puncturing BJP’s propaganda on a daily basis.
The arrest of Zubair is an attack on truth and free press in India.
If @zoo_bear is in jail, none of us is free.

[Pratik Sinha @free_thinker]

After the medical examination, Zubair is being taken to an undisclosed location. Neither Zubair’s lawyers or I are being told where. We are in the police van with him. No police person is wearing any name tag.

[Jodie Ginsberg @jodieginsberg]

So @Twitter is censoring journalist @RanaAyyub’s account in India at the behest of the authorities whom her work seeks to hold to account…Meanwhile the relentless #onlineviolence she faces largely goes unpunished.
