Swara Bhasker criticises social media platform X for permanently suspending her account
New Delhi, Jan 30 (PTI): Actor Swara Bhasker on Thursday said her X account has been permanently suspended due to alleged copyright infringements over two posts she shared on Republic Day.
Bhasker, 36, shared a screenshot of an email she received from the social media platform's team on Instagram and criticised the decision as "ridiculous" and "untenable".
"Two images from two tweets have been marked as ‘copyright infringements’. Basis which my X account is locked / disabled, I can’t access it and permanent suspension has been approved by your teams," she wrote.
In the first post, Swara had shared a photo of the popular Hindi protest slogan -- "Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa hain, Tere qaatil zinda hain" (Gandhi, we are ashamed; your killers are still alive.
"There is no copyright violation. It is akin to urban modern folk idiom," Bhasker said.
The other post featured a picture of her child waving the Indian flag on Republic Day. The child’s face was concealed by a heart emoji.
"How can this possibly be a copyright infringement ???? Who has a copyright on my child’s likeness??? Both of these complaints are ridiculous and untenable by any rational, logical and objective understanding of any legal definition of copyright," Bhasker said.
"If these tweets have been mass reported they are aimed to harass the user I.e. myself and are aimed at suppressing my freedom of speech and expression," she added.
Bhasker urged the platform to review and reverse its decision.

Pakistan claims India targeted three airbases with missiles, drones
Lahore, May 10 (PTI): Pakistan early Saturday claimed that its three airbases were targeted by Indian missiles and drones.
Pakistan military spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry told a hurriedly called press conference in Islamabad at around 4 am that Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi), Murid (Chakwal) and Rafiqui (Shorkot in Jhang district) airbases of Pakistan Air Force were targeted.
"But all assets of the Air Force remain safe," he claimed.
India has fired air-to-surface missiles with its jets, he claimed.
He added that several missiles were intercepted by Pakistan's air defence system.
He said this is a "sinister act of India pushing the region into lethal war and Pakistan will respond to this aggression. India should wait for our response".
Chaudhry did not take any questions and ended the presser abruptly.
