NEW DELHI: Actor Swara Bhasker Thursday said her X account had 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”. 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,” she said. The other post featured a picture of her child waving the tricolour on Republic Day. The child’s face was concealed. “Who has a copyright on my child’s likeness?” she asked. Bhasker urged X to review its move.
