šØ *Musk vs Modi: Free Speech on Trial*
Elon Muskās platform *X* has taken the Indian government to court, challenging sweeping censorship laws that critics say threaten free speech. At the heart of the battle is Indiaās *Sahyog Portal*, a government-run system allowing police and officials to demand takedowns of online contentāoften without judicial oversight.
X argues these laws violate Indiaās constitution and create a dangerous precedent, enabling arbitrary silencing of dissent, satire, and criticism. The lawsuit, filed in the *Karnataka High Court*, marks a bold stand against what Musk calls āunlawful censorship.ā
India defends the crackdown, claiming itās necessary to combat misinformation and maintain public order. But the scope of takedown requestsāincluding posts mocking politicians or reporting on sensitive eventsāhas raised global concerns.
This isnāt just a legal fightāitās a defining moment for *digital rights* in the worldās largest democracy.
