Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021/Report: by Nitesh Gill and Tito Dutta — published Aug 20, 2021 — filed under: CIS-A2K, Access to Knowledge, Wikimedia, Wikipedia, Malayalam Wikipedia
In March 2020, the whole world came to a standstill. What many deemed as a regular ‘flu’ turned out to be the pandemic that brought everyone to their knees. The things that we always did, we could no longer do them. We were all confined to our homes with no choice but to work online.

Right to Exclusion, Government Spaces, and Speech: by Torsha Sarkar — published Jul 02, 2021 — last modified Jul 02, 2021 12:05 PM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Intermediary Liability, Information Technology
The conclusion of the litigation surrounding Trump blocking its critiques on Twitter brings to forefront two less-discussed aspects of intermediary liability: a) if social media platforms could be compelled to ‘carry’ speech under any established legal principles, thereby limiting their right to exclude users or speech, and b) whether users have a constitutional right to access social media spaces of elected officials. This essay analyzes these issues under the American law, as well as draws parallel for India, in light of the ongoing litigation around the suspension of advocate Sanjay Hegde’s Twitter account.
