The Karnataka High Court has dismissed Elon Musk’s X case against the government’s Sahyog portal. X argued that the portal allowed officials to arbitrarily order content takedowns, but the court called the challenge “without merit.” The judge said social media cannot have “anarchic freedom” and termed Sahyog a “public good.” The verdict raises concerns about free speech and digital rights in India. X, with around 25 million Indian users, has challenged government takedown powers before. It is unclear whether the platform will appeal the ruling. (PC: X)
