NEW DELHI, INDIA: Even as the social network platforms embarrass Congress stalwart Abhishek Manu Singhvi despite the court restrain on alleged sex video, a YouTube user claims that a video involving Home Minister P Chidamabaram will be posted soon.
The content on social sites gets another dimension. Is it freedom or abuse? The phenomenon is perhaps, picturesque for some but to others, it’s somber. This, however, confront Google and Facebook's own privacy policies.
As the Singhvi video gets thousands of hits within hours, a YouTube user by name 'Sikh-Hindu Nationalist' claims that Chidambaram’s CD with Russian prostitutes will come soon.
Without actual and conclusive proof, he believes that any such statement is simply libelous and defamatory, and these users can be prosecuted by a person or an institution affected by such statement.
The video clip on social sites, despite judiciary’s restraint order is a contempt of court and proceedings can be initiated against the user who uploaded the clip, said Dalal.
If a social media website, he said, fails to remove an offending content within 36 hours of intimation made to it, such social media Website can be prosecuted in India.
