Twitter sues Indian government over content takedown orders
India's rules governing content takedowns are being challenged by local mobile carriers and Twitter, on grounds that they are technically infeasible and restrict free speech.
The micro-blogging service's challenge has landed in the form of a lawsuit filed to oppose recent government requests to remove some tweets, according to Indian media reports., but we understand the avian network recently received a formal letter from India's government that it risks losing"intermediary status" if it does not take down some tweets.
