The Delhi High Court ordered YouTube to immediately remove fake news videos about the granddaughter of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. The videos allegedly spread false rumours about the 11-year-old's health. The court explained in its order that the 'dissemination of misleading information about a child, especially as regards physical and mental health, is completely intolerable under the law.'
The federal government in India has been meaning to enforce stricter regulations on the tech sector and promote content moderation policies on social media platforms. The official spokesperson for YouTube owner Google declined to comment.
