A coalition of 21 prominent Indian news publishers, including companies owned by billionaires Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, has filed a lawsuit challenging the country's privacy law. The publishers argue that the law's requirements for consent, erasure, and demands for information could hamper investigative journalism and endanger journalists' sources. They contend that these provisions constitute 'pre-censorship' and pose an existential threat to newsrooms, particularly smaller and independent outlets.
