Swara Bhasker talks about her Twitter account being suspended
Swara shared screenshots of the notices she got from X, along with the posts flagged for copyright issues. She said, “(You seriously can’t make this up!!!!) Hey X, two images from my tweets have been labeled as ‘copyright infringements’. Because of this, my X account is locked and I can’t access it, plus your teams have approved a permanent suspension.”
She went on to explain which of her posts were flagged. "One of them features an orange background with text in Hindi Devnagri script that says ‘Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa hain, Tere qaatil zinda hain,’ which is a well-known slogan from the progressive movement in India. There’s no copyright issue here; it’s more like a modern urban folk saying."
Swara raised a valid point about why a photo of her daughter would be flagged for copyright issues. She said, “The second image that’s being called a violation is just a picture of MY OWN kid, her face covered, waving an Indian flag with ‘HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY India’ written on it. How is that a copyright issue? Who even owns the rights to my child's image? These complaints are just absurd and don’t hold up under any reasonable legal definition of copyright.”
The actress also mentioned that if her tweets were reported, it seemed like an effort to stifle her freedom of expression. She stated, “If these tweets have been reported in bulk, it feels like an attempt to harass me and limit my freedom of speech. Please take another look and reconsider your decision. Thanks, Swara Bhaskar.”
