Social media platform X (previously Twitter), owned by Elon Musk, has filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court, challenging what it calls an unlawful censorship mechanism implemented by the Indian government. The company claims that the government is misusing Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act and the Sahyog Portal to force online content takedowns without adhering to proper legal procedures.
