On 8 May, X (formerly Twitter) disclosed that the Indian government had ordered the platform to block over 8,000 accounts within India. The directive, issued via executive orders, carries penalties including fines and possible imprisonment for non-compliance by X employees based in the country.
X stated that many of the blocked accounts belong to international news organisations and public figures, and that it had not received evidence or legal justification for a significant number of the requests. The company confirmed it is withholding the specified accounts in India but expressed disagreement with the orders.
Due to legal restrictions, X is unable to publish the executive orders and has urged affected users to seek legal remedy independently. Indian law limits X라이브 바카라 ability to challenge such directives in court.
The orders follow recent restrictions on several Pakistani YouTube channels. The full list of blocked accounts and the reasoning behind the actions remain undisclosed.
