X (formerly known as Twitter) announced that it is withholding specific accounts and posts in India due to executive orders from the Indian government. X disagreed with the action taken but stated that non-compliance could result in fines and imprisonment. The lack of disclosure surrounding the executive orders is concerning, as it leads to a lack of transparency and accountability. India has become an important market for global technology firms, and the country's amended IT rules grant the government more power to enforce compliance from internet services. Concerns have been raised regarding pre-censorship and the lack of accountability in the blocking of accounts related to farmers' protests.
