Some YouTube channels are turning out to be a menace to society: Madras High Court

The Hindu  

Some YouTube channels are turning out to be a menace to the society by publishing derogatory content just to increase their subscription and it is high time, the government steps in to control such undesirable activities, said Justice K. Kumaresh Babu of the Madras High Court on Thursday. The oral observations were made while hearing an anticipatory bail petition filed by G. Felix Gerald of RedPix YouTube channel in a case booked against him and ‘Savukku’ Shankar under various provisions of Indian Penal Code and the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman Act of 1988. Additional Public Prosecutor E. Raj Thilak told the court that the petitioner had interviewed ‘Savukku’ Shankar alias A. Shankar recently and thereby “facilitated” the latter to make derogatory statements against women police personnel thereby lowering the morale of the entire police force. “Is this what you even call as an interview?” the judge wondered and said, the petitioner would have either posed the question knowing well that the interviewee would answer it in a particular way, or he would have let the interviewee make derogatory statements and encouraged it.
