Right to Exclusion, Government Spaces, and Speech: by Torsha Sarkar — published Jul 02, 2021 — last modified Jul 02, 2021 12:05 PM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Intermediary Liability, Information Technology

This essay analyzes these issues under the American law, as well as draws parallel for India, in light of the ongoing litigation around the suspension of advocate Sanjay Hegde’s Twitter account.
