Abhijeet Dipke has moved the Delhi High Court challenging the Central government’s order blocking the Cockroach Janta Party’s X account under Section 69A of the IT Act over alleged national security concerns, with the matter likely to be heard later this week.
Following India’s airstrikes in ‘Operation Sindoor’, social media, particularly X, was inundated with misinformation. In response, the Indian government ordered the blocking of over 8,000 accounts, including international news outlets. X criticized this censorship while complying with the orders for legal protection. Misinformation about the strikes, including fake visuals, was widespread, prompting government action against false narratives.
