Railways ministry orders X to remove 285 links of casualty videos from the New Delhi stampede, citing ethical norms and potential law issues.
The Railways ministry has directed X (formerly Twitter) to remove 285 social media links containing videos of casualties from the February 15 New Delhi Railway Station stampede, marking one of its first major content enforcement actions since gaining direct takedown powers in December.
The ministry, which cited “ethical norms” and the platform’s own content policy, sent the notice on February 17, asking for action to be taken in 36 hours, according to people aware of the matter.
