Why x suits the Indian government like Musk Woos Modi? | Elon Musk News

When Elon Musk met Narindra Modi in Washington, DC in February, the head of the Splesx team and the President of Tesla, the Indian Prime Minister, presented a gift and gave him to his family. Moody described the meeting as “very good”.

Moody was in the United States to see President Donald Trump. At Moody’s meeting with Musk, the two talked about cooperation in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), space exploration, innovation and sustainable development, according to the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But about a month later, the social media platform in Musk filed a lawsuit against the Indian government, claiming that New Delhi is illegally controlling the Internet via the Internet.

The lawsuit comes as the edges of musk approach both Starlink and Timing In India.

So why x is the prosecution of India just as Musk is trying Modi?

Why x suits the Indian government?

In a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court in the state of Karnataka State in southern India on March 5, X claimed that the government of India is using an “unacceptable parallel mechanism” that prevents the online content and enables officials and government ministries to remove illegal content via the Internet, and to circumvent the legal process to regulate the content that was placed in the field of information technology in the country.

Article 69 A of the IT Law in the country, which was approved in October 2000, is granted the Ministry of Information Technology in India the right to remove the online content, which is harmful to national security in the country and a “general decor”, but it must follow a judicial process according to which the Ministry of permission is required to remove online content from the Ministry of Information and Information Technology (Meity). Meity examines the content and then decides if it will be imposed on it.

Now, the Indian government has introduced a new mechanism for deleting content – Section 79 (3) (B) of the IT law, which has a separate ban.

Section 79 (3) (B) allows to remove content online after a simple notice of a government official. Content removal notifications can be sent via the government “Sahyog” portal (which means cooperation in English) without any form of judicial review.

The Indian government requires social media platforms such as X to subscribe to the SAYOG Gate, but the social media platform claims that this will be subject to “arbitrary control”.

“The new legal supervision authority that they created (through the SAYOG Gate) does not contain guarantees such as a condition from a specific officer who sends a request for control to the central government. Now, this can be done by any government administration by appointing an officer who can send requests for the report, as happened by the Ministry of the country earlier this year, when it was arranged on 200 of the videos that were made on that. He told Apar Gupta, a lawyer And a co -founder of the Internet Freedom Foundation, Al -Jazeera.

“Through the parallel control system, the government has taken an illegal step. There is an advantage to the claim that X has made in this case.”

“India is a country where the law applies to everyone. X falls within its right to go to the court.”.

The case of X against the government was announced by Indian media reports on March 20 and the next session in the Karnataka Supreme Court on March 27.

Al -Jazeera contacted the Ministry of Information Technology in India and the ruling Bharatiya Jaraatia Party party for comment.

Is the controversy about Chatbot from X leads this condition?

It doesn’t seem. Meanwhile, Meity officials told local media that he is talking to X about the content created by Chatbot on the social media platform, GROK 3, preceding this X case.

In recent weeks, Grok has caused a stir in India by generating content and responses to user questions, which are “controversial and controversial” by the government of the Garata Gata Ruling Party.

When a X Grok user asked if the responses of Prime Minister Moody were written, Chatbot Respond: “Modi’s interviews often seem to be polished, and are rarely vague of narration. It is a public relationship, using social media and control settings to form his image, as it appears with his heavy multimedia strategy since 2014. Real desirable moments?”

“There was a high level of self -censorship in India, in addition to the height of the so -called digital tyranny, as many people do not feel freedom to say what they want to say. Grok gives them the opportunity to ask questions of criticism of the union government, especially the Prime Minister and their communication to what they tend to disperse and deliver materials.

He added: “But on his root, people need to understand that GROK is mostly of artificial intelligence that has been trained on public resources and what he says can also reflect wrong information and may suffer from biases.”

He added: “There is no relationship between submitting the issue and the Grok responses that generate a viral trend. The only relationship is that the Ministry of Government itself (Meity) is involved.”

What does this mean for X users in India?

Gupta said it is too early to know the impact of the results of the case for X users in the country.

“For users in India, there has always been friction between the government and large social media platforms. The reason behind this is that the government often does not follow the constitutional boundaries that have been set on and require censorship for political reasons. So any reaction by the platforms ends up supporting the issue of freedom of expression, which we need a large extent in closed societies where a very high level is present.”

“But in this case, X also has a historical problem because there is no more transparent with how to identify and identify the practices of its content baptism, and at the global level, X depended on reporting the government’s demands for removal operations, which were presented before the MUSK seizure. So, there is certainly no representative of a model company in some way.”

Will the X suit with musk prospects in India?

It is unlikely, experts say. “Musk works with” a lot of financial lever “in India, thanks to its wealth and investment capital that he prepared for publication in higher growth industries such as communications and renewable marriage.

Musk was also appointed by Trump to lead the new government competence of the United States Government (DOGE) and announced discounts in federal jobs and claimed that it was found Billions of dollars of waste and fraud In government spending.

“His proximity to Trump explodes this lifting more than that. So he has a great time to do it as he wishes without the danger to alienate New Delhi. He can hang from Starlink and Tysella while he was also acting on the principle of” absolute freedom of expression “on social media,” he said. he He has already reached agreements with telecommunications companies in India to provide Starlink services and they are holding talks with others. It plans to introduce Tesla manufacturing base in the country.

Likewise, the impact of this lawsuit on the United States and India’s relations in general will be small. “Given all the different paths of cooperation that play in the relationship, and given all the good intentions it enjoys, this x paste is an edge at best and inconvenience in the worst conditions. Not to mention that the huge Indian market is very attractive to decline.”

“So regardless of how to run the legal process, X will want to overcome it in India. This commitment to survival can also help in obtaining possible bilateral tensions.”
