Six Twitter accounts resembling PMO's official account blocked
Six Twitter accounts, having resemblance to the Prime Minister's official account 'PMOIndia', have been closed down after objectionable content was detected on these.
Sources said the PMO had asked the Cyber Security Cell of the Department of Information and Technology to block these accounts as these could be mistaken as the official account of the PMO and have serious ramifications.
"These accounts contained certain content having communal overtones and it could be dangerous," a source said.
Earlier, the PMO had asked the Twitter to shut down these accounts but after it was not done, the matter was referred to the Cyber Security Cell, the sources said.
The matter is about two months old, they said. The particular action by the PMO is separate from the recent action initiated by the Home Ministry against some internet portals after some of them were found to be helping in rumour mongering about threats to people from North East in various other parts of the country.
The PMO has initiated the action after taking relevant legal opinion and going through the respective clauses of the Information and Technology Act.
The authentic twitter account of the PM Manmohan Singh's office is 'PMOIndia' and it states that it is the "official twitter account of the Prime Minster's office. Pages may be archived under IT Act".
The account is operational and tweeting since Jan 23 this year and is being operated from the national capital

Twitter 'unable to block 28 accounts', govt firm on stand
NEW DELHI: Twitter has conveyed that it was facing technical difficulties in blocking certain webpages where morphed and inflammatory images were uploaded but the government made it clear that the social networking site has to withdraw them or face punitive action.
Facing a directive to block the offending webpages immediately, Twitter conveyed to Department of Electronics and Information Technology that it was facing technical problems in withdrawing them and sought time to do it.
Government officials said Twitter's reply could be a time buying ploy and they were in the process of telling the networking site to respond in clear terms whether they would be able to block those (around 28) webpages or not.
"We are not ruling out," an official said when asked whether Twitter was buying time.
Hardening their stand, officials said the government wants the webpages to be blocked and it was Twitter's responsibility how to do it.
It they do not do that, they will have to face action, they stressed.
Meanwhile, a Home Ministry spokesperson refuted reports that Twitter accounts of some people were blocked, saying security agencies wanted withdrawal of those webpages where offending images and videos were uploaded.
"Government is not blocking any individual Twitter account," he said.
The government had already ordered blocking of 310 webpages where morphed and inflammatory contents were uploaded with the aim to incite Muslims in India leading to the mass exodus of people of the northeastern region from places in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
