The English language account of the channel’s India branch has been reinstated by the social media platform after an appeal to Elon Musk
Social media platform X has reinstated the English-language account belonging to RT’s India branch, days after it was suspended for “impersonating” RT – a claim the channel has denied.
The suspension notice sent to RT India on Tuesday stated that the account had allegedly violated the platform’s rules. The channel questioned the move in a post on X, suggesting that RT India was “not impersonating anyone” as it is a legitimate part of RT. The channel then expressed hope that the situation was “a simple misunderstanding.” In another post, RT asked the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, to intervene.
After its account was restored on Friday, RT India, along with thousands of its followers, thanked Musk. “Freedom of speech, perhaps, really does exist!” the channel said in a post.
