The Madras High Court has stayed a blanket order issued by the Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime Wing that sought to block access to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The court held that political criticism is constitutionally protected speech and stayed the omnibus blocking order, which had targeted multiple accounts on the platform.
Courts in India have increasingly weighed the balance between content regulation and free expression. The stay leaves the affected accounts accessible while the matter is considered further.
