Elon Musk’s company X has taken legal action against the Indian government, accusing it of misusing the IT Act to restrict content on its platform. The lawsuit specifically questions the application of Section 79(3)(b), arguing that it results in unjustified censorship that goes against established Supreme Court decisions. X is advocating for more transparent criteria and a formal legal procedure for the removal of content. This move comes as a significant development in the ongoing debate over online freedom of expression and government regulation in India.
