Will Write To Twitter And Find Out The Reason Behind Suspension Of Account, Says Rival Koo

Koo, India's alternative to Elon Musk's Twitter will write to the micro-blogging platform to find out the reason behind the suspension of one of its Twitter accounts, the company told ABP Live on Friday.

Koo, the homegrown alternative to Elon Musk's Twitter will write to the micro-blogging platform to find out the reason behind the suspension of one of its Twitter accounts, the company told ABP Live on Friday. Twitter suspended one of Koo's accounts for violating its rules without giving a detailed reason behind the suspension. Twitter has also suspended Mastodon's account, which is an open-source social networking platform.

"We’re going to write to Twitter and figure out why the Koo Eminence account had been suspended. Mastodon was also suspended. We cater to queries from our users on these Twitter accounts. We have multiple accounts for countries like India and Brazil, and also for grievance redressal," said Mayank Bidawatka, Co-Founder of Koo.

Homegrown Koo announced that one of its Twitter accounts were blocked by rival Elon Musk's Twitter earlier in the day.

Aprameya Radhakrishna, Co-founder and CEO of Koo made the announcement from his official handle @aprameya: "One of the Koo handles on Twitter just got banned. For what?! Because we compete with Twitter? So? Mastodon also got blocked today. How is this free speech and what world are we living in? What's happening here @elonmusk?."One of the Koo handles on Twitter just got banned. For what?! Because we compete with Twitter? So? Mastodon also got blocked today. How is this free speech and what world are we living in?"

Aprameya also shared a screenshot of Twitter's message, which read: "Hello Koo Eminence, your account, kooeminence has been suspended for violating the Twitter Rules."

ABP Live has approached Koo for a comment. This report will be updated if a response is received.

To recall, earlier in November, Twitter lost thousands of users to Mastodon, an open-source social networking platform. As per a previous report by news agency Bloomberg, since Musk’s Twitter takeover on October 27, Mastodon witnessed nearly 490,000 new users.


Will Write To Twitter And Find Out The Reason Behind Suspension Of Account,  Says Rival KooIts monthly active users (MAUs) count rose to over 1 million, as per CEO Eugen Rochko, who founded the free-to-use platform in 2016.

This comes within a day of the Twitter accounts of dozens of prominent journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Mashable, The Intercept and independent journalists, who were covering the micro-blogging platform's developments in the past few months, being suspended. It was unclear as to why their Twitter accounts were suspended, but each page included a message that read the account was suspended as it “violated the Twitter rules”, the media has reported.

However, Twitter's new boss Musk, while replying to a tweet on the suspension of accounts of journalists, tweeted: "Same doxxing rules apply to "journalists" as to everyone else," a reference to Twitter rules banning sharing of personal information, called doxxing.

Musk added: "Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not."

The Twitter boss also tweeted a poll asking users on the platform to vote on when to reinstate banned accounts that "doxxed his exact location in real-time." Musk redid the poll after it apparently had "too many options" when the option "now" was getting most votes.
