Twitter labelled the toolkit as&#8217;manipulated media&#8217;, but did not name any corporate houses or individuals. This article looks at why Twitter has banned toolkits in its feeds, and what you can do to block them. This article is well worth reading.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greta_Thunberg_tweeted_toolkit_to_support_farmers_protests_in_India\"><\/span>Greta Thunberg tweeted toolkit to support farmers&#8217; protests in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the Indian riots, Swedish model Greta Thunberg took to Twitter to ask her followers to take action. She shared a Google document containing resources and suggestions for mobilising people. She deleted her original tweet and then re-uploaded it with a variety of suggested actions. The toolkit contains information on calling government representatives, tweeting, and a host of other actions.<\/p>\n<p>Indian police have launched an investigation into the people who created a toolkit to support farmers&#8217; protests in the country. They have accused the creators of encouraging dissatisfaction against the government. The farmers have been camped out outside of New Delhi since November, and they fear large companies will crush their protests. The tussle between the Indian government and the farmers has become global in nature.<\/p>\n<p>The toolkit contained provocative sentences, which were removed. The document also did not mention Adani or Ambani, and was not accompanied by any information about the farmers&#8217; protests on the ground. The toolkit also didn&#8217;t mention any corporate houses or the Facebook page that hosts the protests. Earlier, the toolkit featured a previous action plan for the January 26 violence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_was_deleted_shortly_after\"><\/span>It was deleted shortly after<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The &#8216;Toolkit in Twitter was deleted soon after it was posted by climate activist Greta Thunberg. Several critics slammed the document as proof of a conspiracy against India by the pro-Khalistani Poetic Justice Foundation. However, the document was deleted within minutes and Thunberg soon shared an updated version. The document had urged people to take action against India&#8217;s failing democracy and the corporatisation of the farming sector.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Toolkit&#8221; document is a list of places to protest, including Indian missions abroad, government buildings, media houses, and Adani-Ambani offices. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on Wednesday following criticism of Thunberg&#8217;s toolkit. It said that the toolkit was &#8220;planned and coordinated&#8221; five months ago. The Twitter users are calling for action in response to the incident. The &#8216;Toolkit&#8217; document is a sign of a growing global movement against the mining giant.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_was_labelled_by_Twitter_asmanipulated_media\"><\/span>It was labelled by Twitter as&#8217;manipulated media&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the Covid-19 &#8216;toolkit&#8217; was labelled as&#8217;manipulated media&#8217; by Twitter, a local law enforcement agency demanded the removal of the label. However, the social media website refused to provide further details on the complainant&#8217;s identity or the nature of the complaint. The Delhi Police&#8217;s Special Cell is investigating the matter and is in the process of contacting Twitter for clarification.<\/p>\n<p>A Twitter user tagged a tweet by BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra with the hashtag&#8217;manipulated media&#8217;. The government has said that Twitter should not make judgments on a case when it is under investigation. Twitter declined to comment on the matter but did clarify that it has taken the issue seriously. The tweet, which was posted on September 13, referred to a toolkit prepared by Congress and shared by the BJP.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet &#8216;BJP spokesperson&#8217;s tweet was classified as&#8217;manipulated media&#8217; by Twitter. This was the first time that Twitter labelled a tweet as&#8217;manipulated media&#8217; and has since removed the tag. However, Twitter cannot decide on the truth without the facts. In the past few months, Twitter has had to make a decision on whether to remove the &#8220;manipulated media&#8221; tag. Whether the tweets were actually manipulated or not is up for debate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_did_not_name_any_corporate_houses_or_individuals\"><\/span>It did not name any corporate houses or individuals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier, the toolkit directed people to &#8216;divest&#8217; from fossil fuel companies. But it did not name any corporate houses or individuals. The toolkit also didn&#8217;t name any celebrities, but alleged that Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani had abused the nation by manufacturing wealth and exploitation. Nevertheless, the toolkit had several links pointing to resources highlighting the negative impact of the industry on our environment. But the latest version of the toolkit did not name any corporate houses or individuals.<\/p>\n<p>However, the toolkit did mention the fact that protesters would share solidarity photos by January 25. The toolkit also mentioned the fact that protesters will demonstrate at Adani-Ambani&#8217;s offices worldwide on January 26. In addition, the toolkit suggested hashtags for solidarity protests and called for a boycott of the companies that own these businesses. The toolkit also mentioned that people from all over the world can join the protests.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DciXOHf-Msc\" width=\"404\" height=\"226\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate Activist&#8217;s Toolkit in Twitter Recently, Greta Thunberg tweeted a toolkit in support of farmer&#8217;s protests in India, and this document got deleted within a few hours.
