The Karnataka High Court has denied interim protection to Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) against potential coercive actions by the Indian government, emphasizing that all social media platforms must adhere to India's laws unless directed otherwise by a court. X contends that India's legal framework, particularly Section 69A of the IT Act, is ambiguous and that the government is bypassing safeguards by issuing orders under Section 79, thereby pressuring platforms to comply without proper oversight. The company also alleges that the threat of revoking "safe harbour" protections is being used to enforce compliance, undermining due process and placing digital platforms in a precarious position.
