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.

In most cases, the Indian government has not specified which posts from an account have violated India's local laws. For a significant number of accounts, we did not receive any evidence or justification to block the accounts.

To comply with the orders, we will withhold the specified accounts in India alone. We have begun that process. However, we disagree with the Indian government’s demands. Blocking entire accounts is not only unnecessary, it amounts to censorship of existing and future content, and is contrary to the fundamental right of free speech.

This is not an easy decision, however keeping the platform accessible in India is vital to Indians’ ability to access information.

We believe that making these executive orders public is essential for transparency – lack of disclosure discourages accountability and can contribute to arbitrary decision making. However, due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders at this time.

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.

Users may contact any of the below legal aid organizations:
iProbono India (https://t.co/HnfseKQ2Lb)
National Legal Services Authority (https://t.co/fYOZjp2MZA)
Karnataka Legal Services Authority (https://t.co/Plh3c9p9wP)
Supreme Court Legal Services (https://t.co/Sazj55Co08)

We have provided the affected users with notice of the actions in accordance with our policies. Affected users may also contact the Indian government at [email protected].

"A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed. Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted. Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution. These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered. We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable. There will be detailed briefing on 'OPERATION SINDOOR', later today," reads a press release by PIB.

[Ministry of Defence, Government of India @SpokespersonMoD]

India has launched #OperationSindoor, a precise and restrained response to the barbaric #PahalgamTerrorAttack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen. Focused strikes were carried out on nine #terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning. Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India’s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. A detailed briefing on the operation will follow later today.

Hi @UIDAI why even have a lock biometrics option when you always show a DNS Probe error? Trying to help someone whose KYC has been compromised, and they are not so digitally savvy. How are they supposed to lock it? Have tried everything website, DNS cache, app nothing works.

Does anyone here know how to make reels and is interested in gadgets? The latter isn't a prerequisite. This is a once or maximum twice-a-month job and is paid.

Do send a reply/DM and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Biofuels do hold promise, but their heavy reliance on price-sensitive crops like sugarcane casts doubts on the future of India’s leading ethanol plant manufacturer. In @MorningContext.
