The Indian government has restricted access to X’s Global Government Affairs account within the country after the platform refused to fully comply with directives to block around 8,000 accounts. While X has enforced partial restrictions, these accounts remain accessible worldwide but are blocked within India.

In an official statement, X’s Global Affairs team emphasized that no sufficient justification was provided for blocking many of the requested accounts. The company stated that while it has partially complied with the directive, it disagrees with the broad censorship, calling it contrary to free speech rights.

The Indian government’s orders include potential penalties, fines, and legal action against X’s local employees if compliance is not met. However, the platform is exploring legal avenues and has encouraged affected users to seek judicial relief.
