X blocked Reuters accounts in India


The main Reuters news account, as well as the Reuters World account, have apparently been inaccessible to X users in India since Saturday evening.

A Reuters spokesperson said the news agency is “working with X to resolve this matter.” Reuters also says its social media team previously received a notification from X in May stating that the company was withholding content at the Indian government’s request, though the notification did not specify which agency made the request or which content was being targeted. It even sued the government in March, claiming that a new website allows “unrestrained censorship of information in India” by unlawfully enabling “countless” public officials to take down content or block accounts. The government said the website only allowed it to notify companies about harmful online content.
