Hindu human rights representatives are preparing for legal action against former Twitter (pre Elon Musk) executives for vilification and physical harm
New York / London: A global network of Hindu human rights activists have taken initial steps to prepare legal action against former Twitter executives. During recent interviews on CNN News 18 and Citti Media, British Hindu scholar and Chairman of The Global Hindu Federation, Pandit Satish K. Sharma explained how former Twitter executives permitted false information about Hindus to be posted on Twitter, which subsequently led to physical violence against Hindus and their property, as well as vilification and unjustified prejudices against Hindus at large.

“There are many, verified instances of Twitter allowing false information about Hindus to be propagated, which subsequently led to incitement to violence against Hindus in multiple locations, as well as denigration of the community at large. Moreover, there are instances of Hindus flagging such potentially harmful content, which was not acted upon. The double standards are stark.”
This thread will reveal the hatred that the anti-democracy anarchists who infiltrated @twitter , seeded, watered and nurtured with the simple intent, the economic, cultural & spiritual genocide of Hindus in Bharat & globally. Prepare for class actions @jack @vijaya et al. @Abhaey https://t.co/8sSO9uMBrR

Khalid Umar, a Pakistan-born lawyer, writer and human rights activist who has supported Hindu human rights causes for a number of years, explains that “digital intermediaries represent an amplifier for speech crimes that could reach a previously unimaginable target audience. Therefore, there are provisions in the EU Directives and Regulations which provides for responsibility of the providers ‘upon actual knowledge of illegal activity’ and their responsibility ‘upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, to act expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the information’.” Umar is part of a group of subject matter experts which advises various Hindu human rights and legal research teams.
Sikh activist and investor, Abhaey Singh, says “Hindus are beautiful people. They are universally known to be peaceful and law abiding citizens. However, that gentle nature has also made them a soft target.”
With reference to action against Twitter, Singh adds that “Such cases require meticulous preparation and large-scale funding. We are helping arrange both. We only pursue or support litigation which is winnable, so there are no ‘maybes’ here. There is also clear precedence to support this case, and it appears that there are already enough leads, technical grounds and evidence to get started after research and planning is complete. I would not be surprised if the scale of class action ends up being much bigger than expected, and perhaps in multiple jurisdictions. The bottom line is that a group of former Twitter executives got carried away with the power they wielded, arrogantly disregarded their duties to the public, flagrantly broke rules, endangered life and property in the process, and now they must face the consequences. They really are a bunch of Twits.”
Singh, however, also adds that “To be fair to Twitter, it is important to note that we have not experienced similar issues since the Elon Musk takeover, and we do not hold the new Twitter management responsible. However, we will do what it takes to get justice and compensation, and the final approach will be based on counsel’s advice.”
We have evidence that factually untenable disinformation + misinformation abt Hindus has been spread on @Twitter for years, & that this has endangered their lives. How can our lawyers access info on the individuals who allowed this to happen, so that we can sue them, not Twitter?
