This is just a political fight to see who's got more power. Elon Musk isn’t really defending free speech — he follows authoritarian orders in other countries [1]. He’s just looking out for his own political interests and turning X into a playground for his political ideology. And regarding the ban, yeah, there are definitely violations of free speech, just like in a bunch of other democracies, like the U.S., which banned TikTok [2].

No, this is false. Censorship was made legal in India through various changes in law in the last few years. Twitter actually was fighting the Indian government in courts over censorship orders after Musk’s acquisition. They lost the case ultimately, and that was in part because the laws were changed to grant the government those powers explicitly. That’s different from the false narrative that they just cave into orders elsewhere. The censorship performed by Moraes is clearly unconstitutional - it violates numerous parts of the constitution, just within article 5.
