Social media company X is blocking over 8,000 accounts in India after government orders, risking fines and potential prison for staff. The company expressed disagreement with the demands, emphasising the need for information access amidst rising tensions in the region.
According to the report, the orders mention that if X does not block these accounts, the company could face heavy fines, and its local staff could even be sent to prison.
