Anupam Kher asks Elon Musk why his X account was locked: 'Would love to know...'

Anupam Kher on Monday said he would like to know why his X account was suspended and which post of his violated the rules. The account has been restored now. Kher, who has been using the platform since 2007, said he was surprised when he got the notification. It is not clear when his account was suspended.

"Dear X! Even though my account has been restored I was surprised to see it locked. I have been on this platform since September 2007. Have always been mindful of rules of #X (formerly twitter). Or for that matter any social media copyright rules. So found it a little absurd. Would love to know which post of mine did violate your rules? Thanks! @elonmusk," Kher questioned Elon Musk in his post. Musk had acquired Twitter in 2022 and renamed it to X in 2023.

The 69-year-old actor attached a screenshot to his post which said that his account has been locked. The note read, "Your account has been locked because X received a compliant Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice for content posted to your X account. Under the DMCA, copyright owners can notify X claiming that a user has infringed their copyrighted works. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, X will remove the identified material."
