Reuters X account blocked in India

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 6, 2025, 00:10 IST In a surprising development late Saturday, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of global news agency Reuters (@Reuters) was blocked in India. The account now displays a message saying, '@Reuters has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand,' as seen by users trying to access it around 11:30 PM IST. Tweets by Reuters The restriction appears to be specific to India, as the account remains accessible from other countries. Additionally, the X account of Reuters World was also found to be inaccessible in India as of 11:40 PM. However, several other affiliated handles — including Reuters Tech News, Reuters Fact Check, Reuters Pictures, Reuters Asia, and Reuters China — continue to function normally in the country. As of now, no official statement has been issued either by Reuters or by X regarding the exact reason for the block. According to X's own guidelines, accounts or posts can be withheld in a specific region if the company receives a valid legal request, such as a court order or a directive from local authorities. The guidelines specify that such actions are typically taken in compliance with local laws. It is currently unclear whether the block is linked to a particular report, legal dispute, or government order. It is also not known whether the restriction is temporary or permanent. The development has already triggered reactions on social media, with users questioning the basis of the move and waiting for more clarity.

Jane Street Banned from Indian Securities Market

Jane Street, one of the largest quant trading firms in the world, has been temporarily barred from the Indian securities market following an order from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). SEBI, India's market regulator, had been investigating Jane Street for the past three years. Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

'(JS Group) entities are restrained from accessing the securities market and are further prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly,' said SEBI. The regulator has impounded 48.4 billion rupees, or $566.71 million, from the quant firm, equivalent to the amount of alleged illegal gains. SEBI Accuses Jane Street of Market Manipulation The bar stems from the investigation's conclusion that Jane Street manipulated Indian indexes, like the Nifty 50. One of its strategies involved buying large amounts of stocks and futures contracts of companies within the Bank Nifty index. Afterward, Jane Street would take on bets that would benefit if the Bank Nifty fell and then sell the positions it had bought earlier in the day. 'As an options trader, I could see the manipulation happening live on the screen, and so could other traders on every expiry day,' said the president of a hedge fund in the UAE who requested anonymity. The First Trust India Nifty 50 Equal Weight ETF (NFTY) is having a solid year and has similar gains to the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) on a year-to-date basis.
