India’s Modi Criticized for Following Twitter Feed Tied to Nasty Post
Mr. Modi is following some of these people and in doing so, Mr. Krishna, the medical student, said, was acting "like a passive troll." Some of the accounts Mr. Modi follows on Twitter have made misogynistic comments, spread anti-Muslim feelings and dangerous rumors, or made remarks
that do not always jibe with his message of tolerance.
Do influential people — say, a head of state — have a higher responsibility not to follow people who post hateful tweets?
President Trump has even more followers than Mr. Modi — 37.8 million — but follows a scant 45 accounts, many from his own properties.
