Share on Facebook

Srinagar, Dec 7: The High Court has closed proceedings against YouTube, Facebook and Twitter as regards the incident of alleged sexual assault in Bandipora district on May 8 last year.

The court had asked the YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to remove all posts and publications which “tend to disclose the identity and name of the infant victim of the sexual violence in the incident of 08th of May, 2019 in District Bandipora, which may be posted on any platform maintained by them.”

In compliance to the direction, Mukul Rohatgi, Sr. Advocate, on behalf of Facebook, Inc. sought modification of the order.

Rohatgi submitted that use of the expression ‘tend to disclose’ brings in ambiguity and is capable of misinterpretation. He referred to the directions by the Supreme Court of India in which the top court has delineated on the liability of an internet service provider for and the manner in which a service provider has to proceed with regard to the objectionable material posted on its platform.
