Elon Musk’s X Files Lawsuit Against Indian Government Over AI Grok Dispute

Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter) sued the Indian government in the Karnataka High Court, challenging its alleged misuse of Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act to block content without following Section 69A’s legal framework.

X claims this violates the 2015 Shreya Singhal case, which protects free speech. The lawsuit also opposes the Sahyog portal, calling it a "censorship tool." 

As per the law, X must remove illegal content within 36 hours or it will lose legal protections. X says this leads to arbitrary censorship. 

The court has yet to schedule a hearing.
