"Malaysia's announcement of the suspension says that the nation's Communications and Multimedia Commission demanded that X take measures to prevent users from generating material that contravenes Malaysian laws, but that the Elon-Musk-owned service's response didn't address the issue. Malaysia will therefore block X until the service implements safeguards the Commission deems appropriate. On Sunday, Indonesia's minister of communications and digital affairs Meutya Hafid also announced blocks on X."
""The government views the practice of non-consensual sexual deepfakes as a serious violation of human rights, dignity and the security of citizens in the digital space," the minister said. India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has also reportedly warned X that it must do more to prevent sexual deepfakes. Elon Musk has responded by arguing the true motivation for blocking X is suppressing free speech."
