Actress Koena Mitra Has A Serious Allegation Against Twitter! Here's What You Need To Know

Koena Mitra has also shared figures to justify her claim in which her number of followers has come down over the years.

Actress Koena Mitra has made serious allegations on microblogging platform Twitter. The actress claims that Twitter is banning her account and suspending many of her followers drastically.

"Many of my followers call me and message me on WhatsApp complaining that their accounts are being suspended or banned for no reason and they don't get to see my tweets on their timeline," claimed Koena to IANS.

Offering a possible explanation, the actress added: "Actors should be politically correct but when it comes to voicing my opinion on something I tend to choose sides at times, even on political topics. When I see riots or chaos or a debate, instead of being diplomatic I choose sides when I feel like. I think they don't like it."



Koena has also shared figures to justify her claim in which her number of followers has come down over the years.

"All of a sudden I have lost 300 followers overnight, I have lost almost 2 lakh followers in just 10 days over the time. I used to have around 755K followers in 2018 which dropped to 2 lakh-something. They don't let my follower count cross 2,60,000 or 2,80,000. The moment it crosses this figure, it gets reduced to 2,60,000. This has happened with me many times not just once. I have lost over five and a half lakh followers since 2018," she informed.


Significantly, Koena is also followed by the official account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The actress feels that her opinions on political topics bother the Twitter management, hence an attempt is being made to reduce her reach on the platform.

Asked if the actress had complained to the Twitter Customer Service team about this, she replied: "I have spoken to Twitter directors and employees and have exchanged mails. But they have tried to avoid the whole thing by beating around the bush saying your followers have stopped following you. But that is not true, because I have spoken to several followers of mine. Also some of them have been extremely rude and arrogant in their behaviour with me."



The actress also pointed to the recent fake social media followers scam, which was being investigated by the Mumbai Police. She said: "My followers are genuine. So many celebrities allegedly pay to buy fake followers. How come Twitter does not remove their followers? Because they get money out of it? They lack principles and ethics. It is simple business."
