‘HC order infringes freedom of speech’: X responds to court order on Sahyog

Elon Musk’s social media platform – X (erstwhile Twitter) – said that it is “deeply concerned” with the Karnataka court order that greenlights a new content takedown system and “respectfully disagrees” with it. It also said that it would “appeal the order” and “defend free expression”.

‘This regime has no basis in the law’

Posting through the Global Government Affairs account, the platform said, “X is deeply concerned by the recent order from the Karnataka court in India, which will allow millions of police officers to issue arbitrary takedown orders through a secretive online portal called the Sahyog.”
