The Reuters International International Institute was detained for several hours in India, but renewed later on Sunday after the government hit it to say that it did not look for the handle.
Reuters X account was blocked in access in India overnight, leading to speculation.
The government asked to explain the platform owned by Elon Musk and stated that he did not seek such a step. X Renewed access to the account shortly thereafter.
The Reuters account remains blocked for almost 24 hours, from Saturday evening to Sunday evening.
The announcement shown on X until Sunday evening showed that the X Agency X Agency was detained in India “in response to legal demand”.
However, a government spokesman stated that no legal requirement was made to detain the account.
At the beginning of the day of the source, the demand for blocking the account along with several hundred other accounts was during the Sindoor operation in May. While many of them were blocked, agencies were not.
It seems that X is now acting at this request and blocked the Reuters handle in India. And because this problem is not relevant now, the government has asked X to explain blocking and raise the embargo, they said.
The official accounts of the Chinese media organization Global Times and the Turkish Media House TRT World on X were also blocked again, referring to the legal demand, which the government said is not necessary now.
“There is no requirement to detain Global Times News/Trtworld. We are constantly working with X to solve the problem,” the spokesman said.
At random inspection, it was found that the Chinese Reports Xinhua and some other media, which were also blocked during the Sindoor operation, were available.
“The order was issued on May 7 (during the Sindoor operation), but was not forced. It seems that X now forced this command, which is a mistake on their part. The government addressed X for its resolution,” the official source said.
The e-mail sent to Reuters looking for comments did not call an answer.
While the associated x handles such as Reuters Tech News, Reuters Really Check, Reuters Asia and Reuters China were accessible in India, both official X accounts of the global news agency and World Hands Reuters were previously inaccessible.
X users trying to access the main account could see a message that reads: “The account is detained. @ Reuters was detained in response to legal demand.”
On the Center of Help Center, X explains X such messages on the content of the country’s decline “means that X has been forced to detain the entire account set or published in response to a valid legal requirement, such as court order or local laws.
