India's online content blocking orders have nearly tripled since 2023, reaching 31,000 from January to September 2026. The rise is linked to the spread of AI-generated content, deepfakes, online fraud, and misleading information threatening public order. Blocking orders increased from 12,000 in 2023 and 2024 to 22,000 in 2025, with a 35% rise in 2026. The government cites national security and new AI technologies as key factors.
