'Account withheld': Reuters X handle blocked in India over 'legal demand'; Musk-owned platform asked to explain

A diplomatic showdown has erupted between India and Elon Musk-owned platform 'X' (formerly Twitter). 'X' alleged that the Indian government ordered the blocking of over 2,300 accounts—including global outlets like Reuters. India denied the claim, calling it “false and misleading,” and revealed it had demanded restoration, not blocking. X delayed action for 21+ hours. With press freedom now in question and legal remedies suggested without cause, critics ask: Is X deliberately maligning India on the global stage? #XvsIndia #ReutersBlocked #FreePress #MuskVsIndia #IndiaMediaFreedom #Section69A #DigitalClash #XBanControversy #GlobalNews #TwitterBanClaim #ElonMusk #PressFreedomIndia #FakeAllegations #ITAct69A #MediaWars #XAccusations #IndiaDenies #ReutersUnblocked #NewsBanDebunked #GovtVsX #TechVsState #BreakingNews #NewDelhiStatement #DigitalDiplomacy #XPlatformRow Also Read Bihar Cabinet Okays Youth Commission to Empower, Skill & Propel Employment :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-youth-commission-constitution-approved-012-7795441.html?ref=DMDesc Bihar News: Bihar Cabinet Greenlights Renewable Energy Policy 2025 to Power a Greener, Self-Reliant Future :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-renewable-energy-policy-2025-approved-012-7795279.html?ref=DMDesc School Holiday on July 9?
