Twitter suspends Koo's query handle

After suspending the accounts of several global journalists, Twitter has now suspended the account of the Indian microblogging platform 'Koo'. 

The Twitter handle @kooeminence was suspended on Friday. According to reports, the handle was recently started for VIP queries. 

Mayank Bidwatka, co-founder of Koo in his tweet said that Twitter has now become a publisher and not a platform anymore. 

Bidwatka also listed a series of changes that Twitter has recently made, after Elon Musk took over it, and said it "isn't a democracy". 

"Posting publicly available info isn't doxxing. Why shoot the messenger? Journalists that posted links did nothing wrong. Posting a link to publicly available info isn't doxxing the way posting a link to an online article isn't plagiarism," tweeted Mayank. 

"I've said this before. We run Koo and the journalists should just migrate. Migrate tools are available. Koo is the best alternative to Twitter. This place is what it is because of you and millions of other users like us. Let's not fuel this guy's ego," tweeted Mayank. 

"We've never created policies out of thin air. Everything is user-focused and transparent. It's the most inclusive platform. It's time to take action instead of just discussing. This won't stop here unless we make it!" tweeted Mayank. 

Koo emerged as a competitor to Twitter when the social media platform went through a series of changes after the takeover. Many Twitter users have migrated to Koo in the last few months.
