What happened
On 3 November, X notified SFLC.in that the Delhi Police had issued takedown requests covering 42 URLs, including accounts and posts from SFLC.in, the Internet Freedom Foundation and @geoblockedindia. The requests cite hate speech, alleged defamation of the RSS and safety and security concerns. EFF argues that the targets are documenting restrictions on expression, and it urges platforms to be transparent about such requests and to offer notice and appeal routes.
