Twitter has particularly been informed that the presence of such content and trends do not come under the definition of freedom of expression and hence must be taken down instantly as "Contempt of Court" is one of the categories that hold high priority for the Authority.
The platform has also been directed to effectively and expeditiously respond to PTA's requests for the removal of illegal and harmful online content to avoid any legal action, stated the PTA press release.

It should be noted that insulting tweets regarding the high judiciary came to light on Twitter yesterday.
