The Delhi High Court has asked Google, YouTube and Delhi Police to take steps to remove the sites and links carrying objectionable photos and videos of a married woman from the Internet, reported PTI.
Justice Subramonium Prasad made it clear that this was not an adversarial litigation and listed the matter for September 16, while asking Google, YouTube, the Centre and Delhi Police Cyber Cell to file their replies to the woman’s plea seeking directions to them to remove the photos and videos. The provisional order from the higher court came as a result of a request from the woman seeking directions to the Center to block pornographic sites that operate under pseudonyms. The statement also sought instructions for Google to block any nude, sexually explicit or transformed photos of the woman appearing on its sites.
