India's IT Rules are currently being litigated in the Supreme Court for free speech implications and appeals court (called high court) contradictions, but X complies to any and all FIRs filed by cybercrime branches in India, and hasn't litigated these regulations unlike in Brazil.

India has similar principles to the Marco Civil da Internet that conflict the the IT Rules (hence the Supreme Court case), yet X has never dared to poke that bear.

Edit: the Indian law was stayed (ie. paused) by the Courts [0] yet X still complies

India is just as messed up as Brazil, but Musk clearly doesn't mess around with the Indian judiciary compared to the Brazilian judiciary.

Again, did India sent an illegal order to X like the Brazilian Supreme Court? Since 2019 the STF is conducting an illegal investigation in secret. I bet that India did nothing like this.
