An FIR has been registered against a X (previously called Twitter) user for allegedly spreading fake news about the health of popular filmmaker and the president of the Indian Film & Television Directors' Association Ashoke Pandit.
The Israel conflict and ensuing violence caused a surge in daily active users on the platform, with over 50 million global posts about Hamas' weekend terrorist attack on Israel. In response, X established a cross-company leadership group to handle the crisis effectively.
Elon Musk has been making efforts to encourage wider adoption of X's premium services, possibly as part of a broader strategy to make the platform more financially sustainable.
Telegram maintains a "zero-tolerance policy towards any unlawful activities conducted by users on our platform" and swiftly removes reported CP/CSAM/RGR content, typically within 10-12 hours. This response time aligns with Indian regulations, which require content removal within 24 hours.

X Corp, led by Elon Musk, has also announced the discontinuation of Circles, a feature allowing users to curate a select group of up to 150 people for specific conversations.
Notably, members within a Circle were unable to retweet any content posted within it, although they retained the ability to capture screenshots or download tweets.
Musk highlights the growing popularity and engagement with long-form content on the platform formerly known as Twitter. It also suggests that X is actively working on improvements and updates to enhance user experience and address user feedback, such as handling inactive accounts and usernames.
Although there were no official comments about who posted the wild claims, a report by The Sun claimed his account had been hacked.
X has also introduced a special feature for verified organisations. If an organisation pays $1,000 per month for verification, they can now display job listings on their X profiles using the new X Hiring Beta feature.
This new ID verification system is a major step towards ensuring authenticity and security on the X platform, while also providing additional advantages for its premium users.
