Social Media Must Remove Content in “Smriti Irani Case”: Delhi Court Changes Defamation Rules

The Delhi High Court amended an interim injunction in a defamation lawsuit filed by Union Minister Smriti Irani against three Congress leaders. The modification now requires social media platforms to promptly remove content deemed defamatory towards Irani and her daughter. If the content persists, Irani can directly approach the platforms, who have three days to assess and remove it.
