Why in news
X is refusing to join the Indian government's SAHYOG portal, designed to streamline cybercrime investigations.
X claims it already has its own system for handling legal requests.
X argues that the SAHYOG portal is outside the scope of Section 69A of India's IT Act, which governs content blocking.
X believes the portal creates a new, potentially less regulated, system alongside the existing legal framework.
X has also filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court, calling the SAHYOG portal a "censorship" tool.
The SAHYOG portal aims to automate sending content takedown notices and information requests to online platforms.
It's a portal developed by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs of India.
