The Indian government has said X must follow the law in India after Elon Musk announced a new rule on content takedown requests. X will now make government orders to remove or restrict content more visible to users. The platform may show which government department sent the request and the legal reason behind it. Musk said the change would make government censorship more transparent. An Indian government official told PTI that X will have to follow the law of the land. The new policy is expected to help users understand why their posts or accounts were restricted or removed.
