X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.
…
X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.
He could have tried to fight the order, that’s what the previous management used to do.
Also, remember the legal battle Elon had against Brazil over suspending some 5 users. It seems like Musk just follows order from governments that are authoritarian.
Any info on this? All I can find is that they would publish info on how many requests etc they go, not that they would fight them rather than comply.
Since they were never taken offline or banned in countries I’m assuming they didn’t fight very hard?
