Today, On 9th May, The Supreme Court criticised the Delhi High Court, saying it’s “not court’s job to order media to delete content”, as it set-aside the Wikipedia takedown order in ANI’s defamation case against Wikipedia.
Today, On 8th April, The Delhi High Court ruled that Wikipedia, as an intermediary platform, cannot challenge court-ordered takedowns on the merits of the content. The judgment came in a case involving news agency ANI. The Court also criticized Wikipedia for lacking neutrality in its article about ANI, stating that encyclopaedias are expected to remain unbiased. The platform was directed to comply with the takedown order.
