X protests forced suspension of accounts on orders of India’s government

The global government affairs team at X (née Twitter) has suspended some accounts and posts in India after receiving executive orders to do so from the country’s government, backed by threat of penalties including significant fines and imprisonment. The team revealed its actions on Thursday, writing “In compliance with the orders, we will withhold these accounts and posts in India alone; however, we disagree with these actions and maintain that freedom of expression should extend to these posts.”
