Solicitor general defends govt’s takedown regime in X HC case
The government on Thursday told the Karnataka High Court that it invokes Rule 3(1)(d) of Information Technology Rules to flag illegal content to online intermediaries, who can decide whether to take down the material or risk the matter going to court.
Microblogging platform X wants the rule to be declared unconstitutional, alleging that it has been misused to order content takedown orders to intermediaries like it.
