X, owned by Elon Musk last year, has once again come into the spotlight with account closure cases. Recently, the Indian government had demanded the closure of some accounts that it alleged were associated with illegal organizations. Initially, the X management did not warm up to this request. However, they determined that not complying with this demand would cause significant financial loss to the company’s operations in the country. Therefore, the company, which had to approve all account closure requests, seems to have once again abandoned the principle of free speech. Here are the most important details…

X, again took the path of account closure

The X management, which has drawn criticism with its recent decisions, seems to have once again chosen the path of account closure. However, in its official statement regarding the issue, X stated that they were compelled to make an unwanted decision in line with the request of the Indian government. The platform announced that they would object to this decision and claimed that they would always be on the side of freedom of thought and do everything for users to freely express their thoughts. It is also noted that users whose accounts are closed receive a special notification message.

It was announced that India aimed to ban these users involved in farmer protests spread across the country. Additionally, it is known that many posts on this issue have been requested to be permanently deleted. Although this situation poses a significant threat to freedom of thought, technology companies are forced to comply with such demands as they do not want to lose countries with large economic potential like India.
