MODERATORS
This is what happens when your platform prioritizes engagement over everything else, including people's lives.
For this particular occasion, the engagement aspect is less important. The more interesting thing to look at is whether BJP pressure on Meta was the reason that these ads were given the greenlight. Twitter's offices were raided in the past for some petty BS so it is not out of the question.
