Elon Musk-owned X has, in a sharply worded affidavit to a petition challenging the blocking of an account, informed Delhi High Court that the action followed a government directive that accused the user of posting content portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a bad light.
The social media platform also told the court that it had written to the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), requesting it to review its “disproportionate” order to block 12 accounts.
