Freedom of Press Under Fire!
India Blocks 8,000+ Social Media Accounts
-
The government orders the suspension of multiple X (formerly Twitter) accounts, including Maktoob Media, BBC Urdu, and The Wire, citing national security concerns.
-
The Wire was blocked for 12+ hours over a report referencing CNN, sparking outrage over censorship and press freedom.
-
Siddharth Varadarajan, founding editor of The Wire:
“This blatant censorship attacks the right of every Indian to access truthful information.”
π Critics say this move threatens free speech and sets a dangerous precedent for democracy.
Question for Readers:
Do you think blocking news platforms protects national security or suppresses free speech?
