Proton AG is contesting a Karnataka High Court order to block Proton Mail in India, arguing it infringes upon free speech and privacy rights. The court is weighing national security concerns against digital privacy. Proton AG claims the blanket ban is unjustified and could deter international businesses from India, as misuse allegations remain disputed.
X Corp’s affidavit to the Delhi High Court argues that the government’s blocking of the ‘Hindutva Watch’ account was disproportionate and lacked documented reasons, violating fair hearing rights. The court acknowledged the overreach of the blocking order under the IT Act, emphasizing the need for targeted action rather than account-wide bans.
