NEW DELHI: Social media platform X has withheld the handles of Chinese state media outlet Global Times News and Turkish public broadcaster TRT World in India "in response to legal demand".
This demand can be a court order, or a request from the Centre that was probably made during Op Sindoor to contain misinformation. At that time, X accounts of Chinese news agency Xinhua had been blocked, but it can now be accessed in India.
Also, the handle of news agency Reuters was withheld on Saturday. A govt spokesperson said, "There is no requirement from GOI to withhold this handle. We are continuously working with X to resolve the problem."
