Bengaluru, Sept. 25 -- The Karnataka high court on Wednesday dismissed X Corp's petition challenging the Union government's Sahyog portal, holding that social media content cannot be left unregulated in the name of free speech and that the system represents a legitimate tool for ensuring digital accountability.
Justice M Nagaprasanna rejected X's arguments as "devoid of merit". "Sahyog portal...is an instrument of public good conceived under...Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act and Rule 3(d) of the 2021 Rules," justice Nagaprasanna said. "To assail its validity is to misunderstand its purpose."P12
