Karnataka HC rejects X plea, backs social media regulation
The Karnataka High Court dismissed X Corp's petition against content takedowns, asserting that Indian constitutional law prevails over American free speech standards. The court emphasized the necessity of regulating social media, particularly to protect women's dignity, and stated that foreign corporations cannot claim fundamental rights in India. It upheld the government's Sahyog portal as a legitimate tool for combating cybercrime.
