According to Twitter rules, the company does not actively monitor and censor user content, except in limited circumstances like cases of impersonation, copyright and trademark infringement, violence, threats, and unlawful use.

"Twitter strives to protect its users from abuse and spam. User abuse and technical abuse are not tolerated on Twitter.com, and may result in permanent suspension. Any accounts engaging in the activities specified below may be subject to permanent suspension," read the rules.

Gadde said one of the major concerns of the company in India is user safety.

"I would say for India, we are more focussed on online safety... We are focussed on educating the users on how they can leverage Twitter as a medium to discover and receive content from sources that interest them and share content with others," she said.

Gadde added that the company receives content removal requests from Indian authorities on grounds like national security, abuse, hate speech and copyright infringement.

According to Twitter's Transparency Report, the social network during July-December 2014 received 41 account information requests from the Indian government and information was provided in 22 per cent cases.

Similarly, one removal request from court and 14 from government agencies were received by Twitter in the said period.
