They should just shut their dev center in India and ask staff to relocate.
The government can easily block them, but the optics of that would not look right. So this whole play around law and regulations.
- tormeh 5y agoIndia could prohibit companies doing business in India from doing business (read: advertise) on Twitter. That's the real threat.
- rishav_sharan 5y agoAnd companies outside India would further think twice before doing any business in india. Its not as if India has a stellar reputation for enabling global countries to invest in India. This is a bigger issue than it appears and both sides can lose big based on the outcome.
- zerop 5y agoWhat it has to do with dev center? Their work is for global twitter platform.
- ALittleLight 5y agoBut if they are within India they would be vulnerable to Indian law enforcement.
- Dah00n 5y agoIt makes no difference. They can fine Twitter no matter where they are. If Twitter refuse to pay they can sanction any business using Twitter basically killing Twitter in India. Twitter would do almost anything to make sure this doesn't happen.
- rishav_sharan 5y agoAFAIK, there is no India dev center. Just operational centers which oversee the operational and support work done by 3rd party organizations.
- ridiculous_leke 5y agoThey could blacklist the entire country but they would miss on a good chunk of ad revenue.
