Twitter claims 'spam filter' reason for temporary block on Amul after China-topical ad

Responding to backlash faced due to the temporary blocking of Amul's Twitter account, the social media giant, on Saturday, said that the account was 'caught in their spam filter'. Stating that this was a routine exercise, Twitter stated that the Amul had to only 'complete a simple reCAPTCHA process' to reactivate their account. India's largest food corporation's Twitter account was 'temporarily' blocked earlier in the day allegedly for a doodle against China amid border dispute with India.

Amul account temporarily blocked

As India and China hold  Corps Commander-level talks on Saturday at Moldo, Twitter blocked the social media page of the diary giant for a limited period on Saturday morning. Although the page has been restored now, Twitter had blocked Amul allegedly for publishing a doodle against China. The doodle had written 'Exit the dragon' in a reference to the Chinese military entering Indian territory and in an obvious pun on Bruce Lee starrer movie 'Enter the Dragon', with the Amul girl stopping the 'Dragon' with Chinese brans in the background. Amul had also used the tag-line 'Made in India', in line with the nation's 'Aatma Nirbhar' mode.
