Elon Musk’s social media platform X has launched a legal challenge against the Indian government, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration of unlawfully broadening its censorship powers.

The lawsuit contends that India’s Ministry of Information Technology (IT) has expanded its authority to remove online content without adhering to stringent legal safeguards, allowing government officials to execute takedown orders with little oversight.

X is one to talk given how bad they are about censorship themselves.
