Elon Musk's X said Tuesday that the Indian government ordered the company to block 2,355 accounts, including Reuters, in the country.
“The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology demanded immediate action- within one hour- without providing justification, and required the accounts to remain blocked until further notice,” X's global government affairs account posted.
The main Reuters account, along with ReutersWorld, was blocked Saturday for users in India, the news service said. Screenshots showed the message “Account withheld @Reuters has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand.”
The Indian government's Press Information Bureau told Reuters that no government agency had required blocking the account and said it was working with X to resolve the issue. The accounts were restored on Sunday.
The statement by X on Tuesday is the latest development in an ongoing censorship legal battle between Musk's social media site and the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
X sued Modi's government in March, accusing India's IT ministry of unlawfully expanding online censorship to allow the easier removal of content.
Musk often refers to himself as a free speech absolutist and has said his takeover of Twitter was partly due to what he viewed as the unfair restriction of conservative views and voices.
The Tesla CEO swiftly made changes to moderation after he acquired the site, which he later renamed to X.
