Reuters’ official X (formerly Twitter) handle has been withheld in India due to a “legal demand,” though neither Reuters nor Indian authorities have clarified the grounds. The blocked account belongs to Reuters, which employs around 2,600 journalists across 200 locations and continues to withhold comment. When accessed from India, the profile displays a notice stating it is “withheld in India in response to a legal demand”. This move highlights India’s expanding regulatory grip over social media firms. The incident follows similar restrictions imposed on other international media accounts earlier in the year. Further details on the specific legal basis remain undisclosed.
