PRESS RELEASE 1


HIGH COURT TELLS CENTRE TO FILE REPORT ON GOOGLE, FACEBOOK

16/02/2011, New Delhi
Social networking is both a curse and a boon. We have seen a lot of the boon part of it but it can even become a great curse for the country. Facebook is one such social networking site where updates against the Indian government are becoming a new trend.
Ø Thousands of likes on updates criticising the function of the government in India which specify even the party’s name.
Ø Updates are also related to the price hike of petrol and other daily use commodities.
Ø Information and broadcasting Minister Mrs. Ambika Soni said, “Expressions of views are good but should not hurt or affect the national security”.
Ø Delhi High court, taking the issue seriously has ordered the centre to file a report against the two major social networking sites- Google and Facebook.
Ø High court has also asked the networking sites to take certain measures, to check what is being published.
Ø High court has rejected the centre’s request of banning any content on sensitive issues being posted on any social networking site but has asked the sites to give valid answers on the issue.
Ø 15 days time has been given to both the networking sites.
