Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Social media platform X has blocked posts in India involving political speech following orders from the country's election commission ahead of upcoming polls, the company said late on Tuesday.

"In compliance with the orders, we have withheld these posts for the remainder of the election period," X said in a statement.

Despite complying, X expressed disagreement with the action and maintained that "freedom of expression should extend to these posts and political speech in general."

X is govt's little bitch. They regularly promote ruling party's propaganda agents, ban accounts that counter that propaganda. I deleted twitter long time ago. There is not a single instance in which elon has said no to our cheap wannabe dictator modi
