Indian government denies Elon Musk firm X's claim on blocking Reuters: ‘No fresh order issued'
The Indian government on Tuesday denied issuing any fresh orders on July 3 to block accounts of any global news agency, including Reuters, on Elon Musk's microblogging site X (formerly Twitter). The Indian Government said it has not issued any fresh blocking order on 3rd July, 2025 to Elon Musk's X.(AFP file) The government's response comes just hours after X claimed that it was asked to block 2,355 accounts in India, including international news outlets such as Reuters, on July 3, under section 69A of the IT Act. Refuting the allegations, an official spokesperson of the Indian government said as soon as X accounts of Reuters and Reuters World were withheld in India on Saturday evening, it got in touch with the social media platform to unblock them. This is in contrast to X's claimed that the Indian government made the request only after public outcry. 'The Government has not issued any fresh blocking order on 3rd July, 2025 and has no intention to block any prominent international News Channels including Reuters and ReutersWorld. The moment Reuters and ReutersWorld were blocked on X platform in India, immediately the government wrote to 'X' to unblock them,' said the official spokesperson in a statement. It also added that while the government engaged with X 'vigorously' since the the night of July 5 (Saturday), the platform 'un-necessarily exploited technicalities' involved around the process and did not unblock the URLs until the evening of July 6, over 21 hours later. 'The Government continuously engaged and vigorously pursued with 'X' from the late night of 5th July 2025. 'X' has un-necessarily exploited technicalities involved around the process and didn't unblock the URLs. However, after lot of follow up on hourly basis, X has finally unblocked Reuters and other URLs after 9 pm on 6th July 2025. They took more than 21 hours to unblock Reuters,' the statement said. Elon Musk-owned microblogging site X alleged on Tuesday that on July 3, the Indian government ordered it to block 2,355 accounts, including that of Reuters. It added that non-compliance to the order risked criminal liability. The social media platform also claimed and that India's IT ministry demanded it to adhere to the orders within an hour and did not provide any justification for the move. 'On July 3, 2025, the Indian government ordered X to block 2,355 accounts in India, including international news outlets like @Reuters and @ReutersWorld, under Section 69A of the IT Act. Non-compliance risked criminal liability. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology demanded immediate action- within one hour- without providing justification, and required the accounts to remain blocked until further notice,' said a post by X' Global Government Affairs account. It added that the government requested X to unblock Reuters' accounts after 'public outcry' Alleging press censorship in India, X said that it is exploring all legal options available. 'We are deeply concerned about ongoing press censorship in India due to these blocking orders. X is exploring all legal options available. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. We urge affected users to pursue legal remedies through the courts," it said.

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal steps in as human customer support executive after viral post slams its automated system
In a digital world where artificial intelligence is fast replacing human touch, an unexpected tweet brought back a moment of raw, real connection — and surprisingly, from the top floor of a corporate tower. It began as a typical frustration shared on social media, but what followed was anything but ordinary. Ravi Sutanjani, a seasoned professional from the Indian startup ecosystem and a former Zomato associate, took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his disappointment with the food delivery giant's customer service. 'Zomato's customer service has gone significantly down in the last 2–3 years,' he wrote, adding that it had become nearly impossible to connect with a human agent. His post, a plea for real human interaction in a system increasingly run by bots, resonated with thousands — but it struck a chord at the very top. When the CEO Became the Customer Support Agent What no one expected was that Deepinder Goyal himself, Zomato's founder and CEO, would personally respond. 'Hi Ravi, can we connect on this? This is not by design, and I would love to get to the bottom of this. I would really appreciate your help,' he replied publicly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo In an era when corporate heads are often cloaked in layers of bureaucracy and PR, Goyal's gesture stood out — humble, direct, and deeply human. It was a CEO stepping off the podium and back into the trenches to listen to a former colleague and concerned customer. Ravi acknowledged the outreach, replying: 'Appreciate the acknowledgment, Sir. I had a very detailed discussion with someone senior from the escalation desk this morning. Just dropped you an e-mail. Happy to connect and share my PoV. Thank you.'

Sutanjani's original concern wasn't about a single bad experience; it was about a broader trend — the dilution of personal support and the frustrating wait of 72 hours for email responses to serious issues. With rapid scale-ups, many tech-based companies are turning to AI chatbots to handle the load. But users, especially in India, still crave the assurance of a human voice — someone who listens, understands nuance, and doesn't offer template replies. Internet Weighs In The response from the online community was swift and telling. 'Simple thing — in India, to make AI support a success, I believe it still has time. We need human intervention,' one user wrote. Another questioned Goyal's claim that this wasn't by design: 'If this is not by design, then how is every user asked to mail after all scripted answers are over?' While many praised Goyal's direct intervention, others pointed to the systemic issue. One comment summed it up: 'Good to see the response comes straight from the CEO, but in most cases, customer service is taken care of by AI chatbots nowadays.'

This one tweet didn't just resolve a complaint — it reopened a conversation that tech companies often try to automate away: What's the cost of losing the human voice? For Zomato, the answer came not from a chatbot, but from its very founder.
