Social media company X (formerly Twitter) on Monday criticised the Karnataka High Court's September 24 order upholding the validity of the government’s Sahyog Portal, calling it a blow to free expression in India while confirming that it will appeal the order.

In a post from its global government affairs account, X said it was “deeply concerned” about the courts ruling, which dismissed its petition challenging the Centre's direction to social media platforms to join the portal. The company argued that Sahyog “allows millions of police officers to issue arbitrary takedown orders” through a “secretive online portal” without judicial oversight or due process.

X maintained that the order “has no basis in law, circumvents Section 69A of the IT Act, violates Supreme Court rulings, and infringes Indian citizens’ constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression.”
