The government of India has blocked the website and X account of Hindutva Watch, which documents hate crimes and hate speech against India’s religious minorities, latest evidence of secrecy surrounding India’s internet censorship framework. Legal experts said the current laws and rules lack transparency and appeals are ineffective, giving the government almost unchecked control over online content. The rise in censorship orders since 2014 and the increasing compliance of platforms like X add to concerns about freedom of expression.
