The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) and some other government departments have set up accounts on native micro-blogging site Koo after Twitter did not comply with the government's directive to block some tweets and accounts, the homegrown firm said. Koo said it has so far verified handles of MeitY, MyGov, Digital India, India Post, National Informatics Centre (NIC), National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT), Common Services Centre, UMANG app, Digi Locker, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), among others, on its platform.

MeitY, other departments turn to microblogging site Koo as Twitter fails to follow government diktat - ET Telecom

Twitter should update software not to show 'blocked list' twitter accounts in particular country.

I'm already using Koo
No paid Trend
Only genuine people sharing their thoughts
