X Corp (formerly Twitter) has announced its intention to appeal against the Karnataka High Court’s recent decision that upheld the legality of the Sahyog portal, used for issuing content takedown orders.
The company stated that it would move the appeal to defend the free speech of its users.
X argued that the High Court’s judgment enables millions of police officers to issue arbitrary takedown orders through the portal without procedural safeguards.
The appeal will address whether the ruling is consistent with constitutional guarantees and established jurisprudence on intermediary liability.
