ALBAWABA - According to social media users, India has blocked the main X account for the International news agency "Reuters", and the "Reuters World" X account.
However, sources revealed that other Reuters X accounts, including Reuters Fact Check, Reuters Asia and Reuters Tech News, can still be reached, and the block only targeted the main account and the Reuters World account.
The Economic Times said that the Reuters website was not blocked as of Sunday, July 6. However, it is unknown whether it will be blocked soon or not.

Why did India block Reuters' X account?
The reason behind the block of Reuters' main X account is unknown yet, as no official statement was released by the Indian authorities, nor did Reuters share anything regarding the block in New Delhi.
But when people try to reach it, a message appears reading: "@Reuters has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand."
