Social networking sites are “duty-bound” to obey the laws of the land they operate in, says cyber law expert and Supreme Court advocate Mr Pavan Duggal. Referring to the recent Delhi High Court order to 22 social media sites to pull out inflammatory content, He said these Web sites were trying to get away by saying they were bound by US laws and were not amenable to Indian norms.
“These companies want to operate in India but do not want to comply with Indian laws. If your target is the Indian ecosystem, you have to comply with the laws here and disable content from the Indian networks at least.”
The IT Rules 2011 mandates service providers to do “due-diligence” of content that could be a threat to national security and integration. Any aggrieved party can lodge a complaint against content online.
