Mark Zuckerberg's admission revealed that the United States government can push US-based social media platforms to promote any information they like and suppress what they don’t want the world to see.
The US-based DFRLab claimed that despite being well aware that the dataset could not be linked to the BJP, it nonetheless provided the list to social media platforms (including Twitter) as part of 'due diligence.'
The DFR Lab is a product of the Atlantic Council, an organisation funded by the US government and George Soros' Open Society Foundation that works to promote US and Western interests.
