Twitter defies Modi Govt: Files legal case over ‘content blocking order' I Watch

• Twitter has moved Karnataka High Court challenging centre's order to take down content from its platform under the new Information Technology (IT) rules. In its plea, Twitter has argued blocking orders are arbitrary and fail to provide notices to the originators of the content and are disproportionate in several cases.
