Twitter moves Karnataka HC against Centre’s content takedown orders

Bangalore, 5/7: Twitter has moved the Karnataka High Court against the Indian government’s order to take down some content from its platform, on the grounds that the content blocking orders from the IT Ministry do not pass “the test of the grounds provided under Section 69A of the IT Act”, reliable sources said on Tuesday.

Twitter has alleged in its writ petition that multiple accounts and content included in the blocking orders are “overbroad and arbitrary”, fail to provide notice to the “originators” of the content, and are “disproportionate” in several cases, sources told IANS.
