Order blocking YouTube channel ‘4PM’ withdrawn: Centre informs SC

The Supreme Court was on Tuesday informed that an order blocking YouTube channel “4PM”, which has a subscriber base of 73 lakh, was withdrawn.

“They have withdrawn the blocking order,” senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the petitioner, informed a bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih.

The apex court was hearing a plea filed by Sanjay Sharma, who is the editor of digital news platform 4PM, seeking quashing of an order blocking the channel.
