The company argues that this provision is being misused to create a &#8220;parallel and unlawful&#8221; content censorship system, bypassing established legal safeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>X Seeks Protection for Employees and Challenges Sahyog Portal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In its petition filed in the <strong>Karnataka High Court on March 17<\/strong>, X also sought protection for its employees against coercive actions for not complying with the <strong>Sahyog portal<\/strong>, a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) platform that the company has termed a <strong>\u201cCensorship Portal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit claims that multiple government agencies have begun issuing content takedown orders under <strong>Section 79(3)(b)<\/strong>, circumventing the legal protections provided under <strong>Section 69A of the IT Act<\/strong>. X argues that such actions violate the <strong>2015 Supreme Court ruling in the Shreya Singhal case<\/strong>, which states that content can only be censored through a court order or under <strong>Section 69A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Legal and Government Responses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian government has countered X\u2019s claims in court, stating that it has not taken any punitive actions against the company for not joining the <strong>Sahyog portal<\/strong>. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has yet to respond to media requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks the second legal battle between X and the Indian government over <strong>online censorship<\/strong>. In 2022, when the platform was still called Twitter, it challenged <strong>content blocking orders issued under Section 69A<\/strong>, arguing that officials were exercising <strong>disproportionate power<\/strong>. However, in 2023, the court dismissed Twitter\u2019s plea, citing <strong>non-compliance with government directives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concerns Over Safe Harbour Protections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under <strong>Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act<\/strong>, <strong>social media intermediaries<\/strong> like X can lose their <strong>safe harbour protection<\/strong> if they fail to remove content flagged by an \u201cappropriate\u201d government agency. <strong>Safe harbour provisions<\/strong> are crucial for social media platforms as they grant legal immunity for hosting user-generated content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X claims that MeitY has authorized multiple ministries, <strong>state governments, and local police departments<\/strong> to issue blocking orders under <strong>Section 79(3)(b)<\/strong> without following the due process outlined in <strong>Section 69A<\/strong>. The plea further reveals that MeitY has provided a <strong>\u201cTemplate Blocking Order\u201d<\/strong> to facilitate this process across agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Allegations of Parallel Censorship Mechanism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>X\u2019s lawsuit also accuses MeitY of <strong>\u201cindirectly using other agencies\u201d<\/strong> to issue content blocking orders that it cannot enforce directly under <strong>Section 69A<\/strong>. The company alleges that the <strong>Ministry of Home Affairs has established a new online \u201cCensorship Portal\u201d (Sahyog)<\/strong>, where various government agencies and police officials can issue content blocking orders under <strong>Section 79(3)(b)<\/strong>\u2014<strong>without adhering to the legal safeguards<\/strong> mandated by <strong>Section 69A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X argues that the <strong>Sahyog portal creates an unconstitutional censorship system<\/strong>, violating the IT Act, <strong>Blocking Rules<\/strong>, and the <strong>Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in the Shreya Singhal case<\/strong>. The company also opposes the <strong>Home Ministry\u2019s directive<\/strong> requiring it to appoint a <strong>\u201cnodal officer\u201d<\/strong> for ensuring compliance, calling it <strong>impermissible<\/strong> under Indian law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Implications for Digital Freedom in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This lawsuit has reignited debates over <strong>freedom of expression<\/strong> and the <strong>future of online content regulation<\/strong> in India. Critics argue that the alleged misuse of <strong>Section 79(3)(b)<\/strong> could <strong>undermine digital rights<\/strong> by enabling excessive government control over online platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal experts suggest that the case\u2019s outcome could <strong>set a precedent for social media regulations<\/strong> in India, impacting other platforms like <strong>Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the case progresses in the <strong>Karnataka High Court<\/strong>, all eyes remain on whether the judiciary will uphold <strong>digital freedom<\/strong> or validate the government\u2019s expanding role in online content regulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Files Lawsuit Against Indian Government Over Content Censorship Etawah Today News Desk | March 18, 2025 Billionaire Elon Musk\u2019s social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has filed a legal challenge against the Indian government over the use of Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000.
