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.

    I think OP (FreedomAdvocate) might be Elon Musk himself. Check their account history. Every single post or comment is in defense of Musk, Tesla, or X.

      Literally everything you just said is a lie, but whatever, leftists never let the truth get in the way of a good dogpile.

          You got me! Well done, head down to your nearest Tesla dealership for a free car. Tell them the secret word “Nazi” to get the discount (and look really cool at the same time).

    in other words, even if musk didn’t want to have them blocked, he couldn’t do much about it without bribing everyone who gave the orders or something drastic like that

      Why do you go straight to anti-Musk conspiracy theories? This has been X’s - and Elon Musks - position from the start. It’s the very reason why he bought Twitter in the first place - to stop the erosion of free speech on social media.

    “X bans 8000 users who oppose the government”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    “Indian government forces X to ban 8000 users who oppose the government at threat of banning X in India”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    “X challenges Indian government in court over order to ban 8000 users who oppose the government”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so obvious how politically captured Lemmy is already.

        Did you just say Reddit is captured by trump bullshit? As in……you think that Reddit is right leaning?! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

        I’ve made many comments about how politically and ideologically captured Reddit is. Lemmy is too, with the same political bias and ideologies.
