2020 Twitter suspension
In December 2020, Tripathi's Twitter account was suspended.[why?] Salman Rushdie was among the writers who criticized Twitter for this decision. Shashi Tharoor, Amitav Ghosh, Suketu Mehta, Prashant Bhusan,[8] Paranjoy Guha Thakurta,[9] Aakar Patel, and Nilanjana Roy also criticized Twitter's decision.[10][11][12][13][14]
PEN International also criticized Twitter's suspension of Tripathi's account and urged Twitter to have more transparent policies.[15]
