READ THIS !!!!
Two Air India
employees were arrested in May 2012 for
allegedly posting derogatory remarks/criticizing the Supreme Court Orders and were
arrested under the IT Act
Be it the case
of a powerful minister`s son, the girls or the Air India crew members, internet
users are increasingly getting a message that they have to be wary of what they
post. But the question really is as to who decides and how on where to draw the
line between freedom of expression and offensiveness.
Important Issue is:
- When does an
online comment amount to just civil defamation, and when does it become false
or offensive message as defined by section 66 A of the IT act?
- Does IT Law
define 'offensive' or 'menacing' messages, so what guidelines can the police
use to apply apply these sections?
