Twitter has asked the Indian Court to help to overturn the Indian Govt Official’s order to take down the Indian request for the deletion of the content. A source who is familiar with the matter said the matter and this legal challenge allege abuse of power by officials.

Recently it can also view as the effect of the US company’s attempt to get a judicial review is part of a growing confrontation with Delhi.

Indian officials have on multiple occasions asked Twitter, a giant social media platform to take down some content related to highly sensitive, matters like the Formers matter and Covid-19 matters. The officials also said that the platform has misread the misinformation about matters related to India.

Indian instance to the matter is silent as the IT ministry has not responded to the matter immediately about the social media platform’s move. Indian Government said in past about such big tech platforms as Twitter have not complied with the orders which were for the removal of the content from the platform.

In response, New Delhi also said such measures were needed because the companies had violated India’s rights given under ion constitution.
