The Indian government has temporarily halted around 177 social media accounts and web links in relation to the ongoing farmers’ protest. These actions were taken under Section 69A of the IT Act, following orders from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) at the request of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Elon Musk’s microblogging website X, earlier known as Twitter, has responded to the accounts blocked on its platform, disagreeing with the order and stating that it will challenge it.
