Once again dissing Twitter, Kangana Ranaut threatened to quit the microblogging platform. This time, she said that she wants to shift to Koo App instead.
This comes after Ranaut’s tweets were deleted by Twitter for violating rules. In one of the tweets that stand deleted, Ranaut had quoted a tweet by cricketer Rohit Sharma in which he extended support farmers’ protest and called him “dhobi ka kutta” and “terrorist”.
Now, as Twitter responded to ‘blocking orders from the Indian Government’, Kangana Ranaut once again hit out at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and wrote, “Tumko banaya kisne hai Chief Justice (Who has made you Chief Justice)? At times you also gang up, then become a bully headmaster? Some times even the unelected member of the parliament. That’s not all at times you even pretend to be Prime Minister. Who are you? Bunch of druggies trying to control us @jack.”

In another tweet, she said, “Your time is up @Twitter time to shift to #kooapp will inform everyone soon about my account details there. Absolutely thrilled to experience home grown #kooapp.”

Meanwhile, Twitter said in a statement, “We will continue to advocate for the right of free expression on behalf of the people we serve. We are exploring options under Indian law — both for Twitter and for the accounts that have been impacted. We remain committed to safeguarding the health of the conversation occurring on Twitter, and strongly believe that the Tweets should flow.”
We have withheld some of the accounts identified in the blocking orders under our Country Withheld Content policy within India only. These accounts continue to be available outside of India. https://t.co/uQuXNtzq9t
