Indian Government orders censoring of accounts on X (x.com)

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.

…

X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.

It’s weird how you say politically captured but you say nothing of Reddit and all of it’s Trump bullshit, you’re just full of bullshit all nonstop aren’t you, are you from fucking Russia my dude because you’re doing their job for free

Both things are true. Reddit is politically captured. Lemmy is politically captured. Etc.

X is doing the right thing here. X also sucks in a myriad other ways. Both things are true.

Don't pick sides people, only side with the truth.

Did you just say Reddit is captured by trump bullshit? As in…..you think that Reddit is right leaning?! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

I’ve made many comments about how politically and ideologically captured Reddit is. Lemmy is too, with the same political bias and ideologies.
