Motorola sues social platforms and creators over posts, raising speech concerns in India

What Happened

Motorola filed a lawsuit in Bengaluru court against social media platforms X, YouTube, and Instagram, plus dozens of content creators, seeking removal of posts it claims are defamatory about its devices. The over 60-page complaint targets product reviews, videos alleging device issues, and boycott campaigns. Free speech advocates warn this could discourage legitimate product criticism. India is Motorola's second-largest market, representing 21% of global smartphone shipments.
