X Complies with Indian Election Commission's Takedown Orders

Elon Musk's social media platform X has blocked certain political posts in India, following directives from the Election Commission ahead of the national elections.

X has withheld posts containing political speech from politicians and political parties as per the Election Commission of India's orders.
Despite compliance, X has expressed disagreement with the takedown orders and called for transparency in future directives.
The withheld posts include unverified claims about political opponents, raising concerns about freedom of expression.
The takedown orders come as India prepares for its general election, involving nearly 968 million voters.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Elon Musk are expected to meet this month to discuss investment opportunities in India.
