The Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, has directed immediate action on a petition highlighting defamatory and derogatory online content targeting Padma Vibhushan awardee and spiritual leader Swami Ram Bhadracharya. Court issued notices to Facebook India, Instagram India, Google, and YouTube and directed their respective Grievance Redressal Officers to ensure that such content is taken down immediately. His disciples argued that the derogatory portrayal not only damaged his reputation but also insulted the dignity of persons with disabilities at large. They also pressed for strengthening the grievance mechanisms of social media companies and framing guidelines to prevent online discrimination against persons with disabilities. Accordingly, court directed the petitioners to file a complaint with the grievance officers of the platforms within a week.
