Google told the Delhi High Court that it is impossible and legally untenable to proactively monitor, remove, or prevent the re-upload of unauthorised recordings of online court proceedings on YouTube. The company said such directions cannot be effectively implemented across its platform.
The Delhi High Court refused to mandate the retention of recorded court proceedings, highlighting concerns over the impact on judicial quality and security. The court stressed the need for adequate preparation and safeguards due to potential misuse of live-streamed videos, emphasizing that broad directives could undermine judicial integrity.
