Twitter Inc. has petitioned an Indian high court to overturn the government’s content removal orders after the Indian government warned of “serious consequences” for noncompliance with such orders.

The social media giant filed a writ petition with the Karnataka High Court on July 5 and sought judicial review of some of the content included in the removal orders.
