Twitter blocks J&K police officer Sheikh Adil's account

On a day when Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admits the micro-blogging site needs more transparency in its moderation operations, the platform falls prey to the tactics of Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations. Following mass reporting, Twitter has suspended the account of Jammu and Kashmir Police officer Sheikh Adil who enjoys tremendous goodwill among Kashmiris. The development came to fore after another J&K police officer Imtiyaz Hussain flagged off on Twitter that the latter had been fooled by Pakistan's ISPR.
