Kangana's tweet comes a day after BJP MP Tejasvi Surya too condemned the action and said it is a wake-up call for those who don't yet understand the threat to democracies by unregulated big tech companies. 

He also urged the Centre to review guidelines for intermediaries. Intermediaries can't interfere into social media content, he said.

Eliminating one’s digital identity is no less than murder in the virtual world, there must be strict laws against it."<br />&nbsp;</p><p>"Sick n tired of being treated like a slave in my own country, we can't celebrate our festivals, can't speak the truth and defend our ancestors, we can't condemn terrorism, what is the point of such a shameful enslaved life controlled by the keepers of darkness."</p>

This is not the first time Kangana has lashed out at Twitter.

In November 2020 when Twitter blocked platform user True Indology, Kangana said, "When they don’t have answers to your questions they break your house, put you in jail, gag your voice or kill your digital identity. Eliminating one’s digital identity is no less than murder in the virtual world, there must be strict laws against it."

"Sick n tired of being treated like a slave in my own country, we can't celebrate our festivals, can't speak the truth and defend our ancestors, we can't condemn terrorism, what is the point of such a shameful enslaved life controlled by the keepers of darkness."
