Social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, has filed a lawsuit against the Indian government, alleging unlawful expansion of powers by the IT ministry to remove online content. This legal challenge follows X's previous compliance with government orders during last year's farmers' protests. The lawsuit claims that a newly established mechanism allows numerous public officials to issue content takedown orders without proper legal safeguards. X argues this leads to unrestrained censorship, violating the rights of users in India. A hearing on the case is expected in the High Court of Karnataka next week.
