Twitter has suspended the Twitter account of Kreately media which was incessantly posting hate mongering, anti-Islamic content through their account after Citizens for Justice and Peace reported this content multiple times.

In the last 2 years CJP has moved over 200 petitions before organisations like National Commission for Minorities (NCM), National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), National Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA), National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST), National Commission for Women (NCW), Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.

Twitter said it found Kreately media to be violative of their hateful conduct rule and if the account wishes to get full access again, Twitter will ask them to remove the reported content.

One of the many disparaging posts from their Twitter account was about the recent murder case that has been unravelling in Delhi where one Aftab Poonawala brutally murdered his girlfriend Shraddha and butchered her. Taking a hardline and anti-Islamic stance, Kreately posted deplorable content about the infamous “love Jihad” angle which is brought up every time a Hindu-Muslim relationship comes up anywhere in the news by such right-wing accounts.

One such post on Twitter was:

Their account on Twitter has been suspended due to CJP’s relentless efforts and in pursuance to CJP’s constant fight against hate speech and content on social media. However, they continue to spread such hatred through their other social media accounts including Instagram and Facebook. They also have a website of their own where pro-hindutva, anti-Islamic and misinformed news in the form of opinion pieces is published.

Some of their posts on Instagram:

In 2021, AltNews had published a report on Kreately calling it a website that packs hateful content and misinformation in the illusion of truth by posing as ‘news outlets’. The website is owned by Texas-based Waiable Media Inc, a company run by Indians in the US. AltNews found that the website Kreately.in came into existence in May 2020. Its Alexa Rank in India in less than a year is about 10,000. One of the main people behind its growing popularity is BJP leader Kapil Mishra who regularly promotes the platform.

Kreately Media mentions its parent company’s name – Waiable Media Inc. – at the bottom of the website. A document in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission recognises Sachin Chitlangia, resident of Houston, Texas as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Waiable Media.

Kreately is a user-generated platform where anyone can make an account and request the moderators to get published. The non-prominent contributors are similarly aligned with a disdain for the Muslim community and Left-leaning individuals and devotion to Prime Minister Modi, says the report.

The post Hate Watch: Twitter suspends Kreately Media’s account after CJP complaints appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Kreately, a right-wing website, once heavily promoted by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra, has made its mark by being the online ‘library’ of fictional claims, and often a repository of fake news. The twitter account @KreatelyMedia was active in calling for arrests of those commenting on “shivlings”. However, it “was first to mock Shivling by coming up with fictional claims” stated fact checkers.

It has made claims such as “Shivling is nothing but nuclear reactors, that’s why they are offered water so that they may remain calm… All the favourite substances of Mahadev such as Bilv Patra, Aakamad, Dhatura, Gudhal etc. are all nuclear energy soaking. Because the water on Shivlinga also becomes reactive, that is why the drainage tube is not crossed.”

And the best, which is once again circulating, and is being seen as an insult by the right wing, “The design of Bhabha Atomic Reactor is also like Shivling” is yet another claim by Kreately. It also claimed that “water offered on Shivling takes the form of medicine together with the flowing water of the river.” 

Of late, the website has been active fuelling the Gyanvapi mosque controversy, and the “shivling” reportedly found in the premises seems to have been declared as authentic by it, even before the courts or forensic experts have done so. It has a blogpost, provocatively titled Did Muslims Wash Their Hands And Feet In The Pond Knowing Fully Well That There Is A Shivling? on its pages, knowing fully well that it is a communally sensitive issue. 

Kreately, since its birth in May 2020, has grown to be the blog home of all things right-wing, fake news, and communal propaganda. It has a massive menu of subjects including ‘money, politics, interest, religion, art, satire, sports, literature and culture and more’ under which various authors write their opinions or ‘news’.

It claims that its “Mission” is to provide an “ideology agnostic platform that facilitates thoughtful dialogues between various opinions”. However, even a cursory glance at the blogs this site hosts will counter its own claim. There is only the right-wing ideology thriving here. And minorities, especially Muslims are regularly mocked. If not in words, it is via illustrations such as this, which seem either have been picked off Whatsapp university, or sent to it from here.

Here is a sampler often circulated by Whatsapp uncles:

It has also insulted liberal intellectuals and social reformers such as Periyar.

According to an Alt News fact check, “Kreately Media mentions its parent company’s name – Waiable Media Inc.” One of the men behind Waiable Media was Sachin Chitlangia, its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who had claimed that he lives in the US and “works with Kapil Mishra and team”.
