Indian Court Upholds Government's Power to Remove Online Content, Rejects X's Free Speech Claim

Reported about 8 hours ago

An Indian court has ruled against Elon Musk’s X in its challenge to the government's content takedown orders, stating that foreign companies do not have constitutional free speech rights under Indian law. The Karnataka High Court confirmed the legality of a government portal for issuing such orders, emphasizing that protections under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution apply solely to Indian citizens. This decision aligns with India's increasing regulation of global tech firms and may enhance coordination between the government and social media platforms.
