Some news about data leaking being spoken about unnecessarily. Please read this:
The data visible is something that the user has voluntarily shown on their profile of Koo. It cannot be termed a data leak. If you visit a user profile you can see it anyway

95% of koo users login through their mobile phone number
Language communities of India do not use email to login and hence was not the priority of the company.
Email login was introduced recently
Now that concerns have been raised it has already been blocked from view

Sadly Freedom of Speech and Expression has become a concept of convenience for many.
As a technology platform Koo enables users to voice their opinion and not judge their opinion.
We have complied fully with the new IT rules without impacting the user experience and FoE

Factually incorrect. @kooindia hasn't reserved this handle. Some other user may have done it. We have a process to help genuine users to claim their handles only if interested. This has no impact on our growth.

Law of the land is something everyone has to follow. Every Indian also does.
The guidelines are in sync with our idea of ‘User’s first’. A good redressal mechanism and transparency of that process will instill more trust among users and make social media a safe place.

I will update everyone about various features on Koo which we really like and feel are impactful in a small or very large way.
First one is ability to update whether you're vaccinated or not on your profile picture. Great way to spread the word and reduce vaccine hesitancy. 🙂

Why should everyone be on @kooindia? Answered here for a question posed by @pradip103 🙂
'Connect with local people on local issues in local languages, be truly Indian on our platform'. What a fantastic pitch by Koo founders @aprameya and @mayankbidawatka as they shape the KOO story on social media in the most desi way possible.

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?

Don't understand the chaos about Twitter Blue.
Just migrate your tweets to Koo and people you follow from Twitter and get everything for free on Koo.
The obvious realisation is bound to happen. Be the first ones to do it.

During these tough times enabling everyone to be able share information is important. We have enabled Indians to be able to express without having to type in local languages. More information means more power to the not so privileged. #talktotype

Giving users complete context of any claimed violation and an intimation of the exact violation is important. The user should also be able to contest or accept the claimed violation. A direct action of suspension without the above makes it seem like
Friends! Something highly peculiar happened today. Twitter denied access to my account for almost an hour on the alleged ground that there was a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the USA and subsequently they allowed me to access the account.
