X Sues Indian Government for Allegedly Illegally Blocking Content

X, the social media company owned by billionaire Elon Musk, sued the Indian government, accusing it of illegally blocking content on the platform. The lawsuit alleges that the Indian government created a “censorship portal” last year, enabling government agencies, state authorities and tens of thousands of local police officers to issue takedown orders en masse, violating India’s constitution and the Information Technology Act.
