Supreme Court Sides With Madras HC: Person Forwarding Social Media Messages Liable For Contents
|
The Madras High Court had noted that Shekher was a person of high stature and had many followers. It stated that he should have exercised more caution when forwarding messages.
The Supreme Court refused to entertain an appeal challenging Madras High Court’s order that stated that individuals forwarding messages on social media are liable for its contents. The order was in connection with a batch of criminal proceedings against BJP politician S Ve Shekher for his remarks against women journalists. He had allegedly forwarded derogatory comments on his Facebook account in 2018.
The Madras High Court had noted that Shekher was a person of high stature and had many followers. It stated that he should have exercised more caution when forwarding messages, according to a report in LiveLaw.
Shekher argued that he forwarded the message without reading it, but removed it later on. He also offered apologies. The high court stated that that does not help Shekher from facing the consequences.
It must be construed that the person who sent the message acknowledged its contents, the court said. If the person forwarding the messages got a dopamine high then he or she should be ready to face the consequences too.
