X (formerly Twitter) acknowledges taking down accounts and posts linked to India's ongoing farmers' protest, citing "executive orders" from the government. The platform clarifies compliance with orders but disagrees with the actions, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression. Activists, including journalists, express concerns over account suspensions, claiming a government attempt to stifle dissent. X legally challenges the government's "blocking orders." India's opposition criticizes the clampdown. Farmers seek floor pricing, protesting since February 13, facing heavy barricades at Delhi borders. One protester dies amid tensions with Haryana police.
