Elon Musk's commitment to free speech has been questioned as he allowed X to be banned in Brazil rather than comply with the country’s censorship demands, challenging his self-proclaimed absolutism.
In January 2023, shortly after Musk's takeover, Twitter blocked a BBC documentary critical of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, succumbing to government pressure and allegations of suppressing dissenting voices.
Following another restrictive move, Twitter limited access to over 100 accounts during a government-imposed blackout in Punjab, raising serious concerns regarding the platform's integrity in disregarding free speech.
Musk's administration of Twitter also involved restricting content in Turkey ahead of national elections, choosing to follow governmental demands instead of maintaining its stated policy on free speech.
