India's Supreme Court Axes Online Censorship Law, But Challenges Remain: by Subhashish Panigrahi — published Mar 27, 2015 — last modified Mar 27, 2015 02:38 AM — filed under: IT Act, Censorship, Freedom of Speech and Expression, Internet Governance, Chilling Effect
The Supreme Court of India took a remarkable step to protect free expression on March 24, 2015, striking down controversial section 66A of the IT Act that criminalized “grossly offensive” content online. In response to a public interest litigation filed by Indian law student Shreya Singhal, the court made this landmark judgement calling the section “vague”, “broad” and “unconstitutional”. Since Tuesday's announcement, the news has trended nationally on Twitter, with more than 50,000 tweets bearing the hashtags #Sec66A and #66A.
