Social Media Platform X Restricts Accounts in India
Legal Requests Cause Account Limitations
New Delhi: Social media giant X has restricted several news outlets in India. These include China’s Global Times News and Turkey’s TRT World. X acted “due to a legal request.”
Why Did This Happen?
The legal request may be a court order. It could also be a government request. This might have happened during Operation Sindoor. The operation aimed to stop false information.
Past and Present Actions
X had earlier blocked accounts of Chinese news agency Xinhua. But now, Xinhua’s account is accessible in India. Also, X restricted Reuters’ account on Saturday.
Government’s Stance
