Prasanth Sugathan, Legal Director, SFLC.in, spoke with The Hindu Businessline about the X petition opposing the use of Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act for taking down content online.
He agreed that 79 cannot be used as a takedown provision.
Further, he stated “What the Supreme Court says is this provision exempts intermediaries from liabilities. It has to be read with other provisions like 69A that actually allow takedown actions. 79(3)(b) cannot be used as provision to take down content by itself.”
