India Issues 91 Takedown Notices to X

The Indian government has sent 91 notices to X (formerly Twitter) to remove over 1,100 posts.

Most of these posts were flagged for causing trouble or disturbing public order.

Some posts were about political leaders, and a few were about illegal activities like betting or fake news.

The government says these posts were harmful, but X disagrees and says the process for removing posts should be different.

There were more notices during big events like elections and after certain attacks.

The government and X are in a legal fight about who can decide what should be removed from the internet.
