X sues Indian govt over arbitrary censorship: What is the case all about?

US billionaire Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) has moved a plea in the Karnataka High Court against the Indian government, alleging unlawful content regulation and arbitrary censorship. In its plea, the social media giant has argued that the Centre’s interpretation of the Information Technology (IT) Act—particularly its use of Section 79(3)(b)—violates the landmark Supreme Court ruling in the Shreya Singhal case and undermines free expression online.
