In recent weeks, several X (Twitter) and Meta users have reported that their posts and accounts were blocked in India following government orders issued under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000. According to reports, affected users received automated notifications from X stating that their posts had been blocked in response to a legal demand attributed to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. These blocking orders highlight a broader problem with India’s internet blocking regime.
