    90% of Indians fired from Twitter



    Digital Desk: During
    the Covid-19 outbreak, as more businesses converted to an online manner of
    operation, Meta embarked on a recruiting binge. It hired more than 27,000
    workers in total in 2020 and 2021, and an additional 15,344 people in the first
    nine months of this year.



    The businesses
    must deal with "increasingly severe content laws intended to rein in giant
    digital enterprises in the country," though.



    About 70% of the
    positions lost in India came from the engineering and product teams, which
    worked on a worldwide mandate.



    also cut across
    departments, including corporate communications, public policy, and marketing,
    the people claimed. Twitter, situated in San Francisco, California, cut over
    3,700 jobs from its global workforce.



    On Twitter,
    several contending parties in India have some of the most "febrile
    political debates," with accusations and denials taking around the social
    media site like wildfire.



    Over 84 million
    people follow Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the platform.



    With its newly
    reduced headcount in the nation, which includes more than 100 languages,
    "it is unclear how Twitter expects to manage that dialogue," the
    article added, noting that there are still roughly 3,700 workers employed by
    the firm worldwide.
