The Indian microblogging platform can be a substitute to Elon Musk-owned Twitter if it manages to garner a significant user base, and then monetise. But is Koo ready in terms of privacy and security to go global?
On December 16, Twitter suspended microblogging platform Koo’s official account, which was set up for answering user queries. Co-founders Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidawatka then took to Twitter to express their disappointment, claiming that their platform is the best alternative to Twitter. Radhakrishna tweeted: “One of the Koo handles on Twitter just got banned. For what?! Because we compete with Twitter? So? Mastodon also got blocked today. How is this free speech and what world are we living in?”
