Should Social Media Have Freedom To Censor?

The official Twitter handle of the Congress has been locked, said the party in an Instagram post. This, amid a growing controversy over the social media platform's alleged selective action against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and five others for posting photographs that show Mr Gandhi interacting with the family of a nine-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped and killed in Delhi last week. The Congress on Thursday questioned why no action had been taken against the BJP's chief of information technology by Twitter for seemingly the same violation.
