Koo, a new social microblogging app, seems to be grabbing headlines these days. It is not just being claimed as the Indian version of Twitter but has also become a new tool of conversation for government ministries and ministers.

As a part of the notice, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY) asked Twitter India to block 257 tweets and accounts related to farmer protests.
