Allahabad HC: Liking a Post Not an Offence Under IT Act
The Allahabad High Court ruled that merely liking a social media post does not constitute publishing or transmitting it under Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, which addresses obscene material. Justice Saurabh Srivastava quashed the case against Imran Khan, who was accused of provoking unlawful assembly for liking a post related to a protest. The court clarified that Section 67 pertains solely to “lascivious” content and does not apply to provocative material.
