Twitter CEO likes tweet asking for#FarmersProtest emoji

New Delhi, Feb 4 : Amid the brouhaha over Twitter and farmers’ issue, its CEO Jack Dorsey on Thursday “liked” a Tweet asking for an emoji for the hashtag #FarmersProtests.
Dorsey liked a Tweet which said: “Now is as a good time as ever for @Twitter and @Jack to add a Twitter emoji to the massive #FarmersProtests in India – as they did for historic international protests like #BlackLivesMatter and #EndSars”.
The Twitter CEO liked the tweet by Washington Post journalist Karen Attiah.
In a clear attempt to polarise India, US Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece Meena Harris and some international celebrities with hardly any expertise on Indian affairs, on Wednesday extended their support to the Indian protesters agitating against the new farm laws.
The government in a strong reaction described them as part of “vested interest groups” and their support as “sensationalist social media hashtags and comments” which are “neither accurate nor responsible.” A Twitter frenzy broke out on Wednesday when American pop singer Rihanna posted a news link on India’s farmers’ protest and tweeted, “why aren’t we talking about this?!” It triggered widespread outrage from Indians questioning Rihanna’s credentials and knowledge about India’s internal matters.
