    His claim is that X must abide by the law in each country it operates. So if an order is deemed to be in violation of the law of the country, that would be relevant. I presume it is X lawyers in the country of question (Or lawyers knowledgeable about that) make the adjudication.

      OK, so did Musk investigate the legality of the order from Modi in India, or the orders from Erdogon in Turkey?[0] There were solid arguments that both of those were not legal censorship.

        Not sure, but according to Elon a significant difference in this case was that they were being gagged such that they would not have been able to disclose that the takedown requests were at the behest of the Alexader Morales and had to pretend it was X terms of service. https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1777386419561828804 https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1777386419561828804
