What happened
No CVEs or technical vulnerabilities are involved. On 3 November, X notified SFLC.in that the Delhi Police had requested takedown of 42 URLs, including posts and accounts of SFLC.in, the Internet Freedom Foundation and @geoblockedindia, citing hate speech, alleged defamation of the RSS and safety and security. The targets run censorship trackers such as SFLC.in's Free Speech Tracker. EFF calls for platform transparency, user notice and appeal mechanisms for government takedown requests.
