Supreme Court to Google: Can uploading of obscene videos be prevented?
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought to know from Internet service provider Google whether it could “prevent” uploading of obscene contents like videos of sexual violence on websites. Lalit asked Google about its internal mechanism or “in-house procedure” to identify such obscene content posted on websites and also about “how much can they do to prevent it”. We are simply asking you: can you not prevent it,” the bench asked senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who was representing Google India. Advocate Aparna Bhat, who has been assisting the court as amicus curiae, told the bench that when the matter had come to fore, there were 8-9 such obscene videos on which the CBI had conducted investigation, but now several other such materials have surfaced and the agency must be directed to look into it.
