India ordered website takedowns on fake court orders; police launch probe
BENGALURU: India’s government ordered internet providers to block 129 illegal betting websites this year based on two state high court orders that Reuters has found were fake, findings that have triggered at least one police investigation.
The forgeries are the latest sign that fake orders are slipping past India’s official content removal mechanism, considered one of the world’s strictest, and could impact the online presence of any organisation operating in the country.
