Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has blocked access to Reuters' accounts in India, escalating tensions over content moderation in the region. The move comes after Reuters reportedly published content deemed in violation of local regulations, though specifics remain undisclosed.
Sources indicate that the action was taken following requests from Indian authorities, highlighting the ongoing struggle between global tech platforms and governments over compliance with national laws. X has not issued an official statement, but Reuters confirmed the restriction, expressing concerns over press freedom.
This incident underscores the broader challenges faced by media organizations operating in regions with stringent digital governance policies. Analysts suggest the block could set a precedent for future clashes between news outlets and platform regulators in India.
