X alleged press censorship in India and claimed the government ordered a ban on over 2,300 social media accounts, including those operated by Reuters.
The Indian government responded by stating it had not ordered a ban on Reuters, urging X to unblock the accounts, and claiming X exploited technicalities and delayed unblocking them.
X expressed deep concern over press censorship in India and indicated exploring legal options despite restrictions under Indian law.
X mentioned complying with the Indian government's order on July 3 to avoid penalties but criticized the immediate compliance demand without justification.
