BJP leader T. Raja Singh, a legislator from Telangana ong known for incendiary and dangerous speeches, was banned by Meta under its 'Dangerous Organizations and Individuals' (DOI) policy in 2020 over repeated violations involving hate speech. In Ramji Lal Modi v. State of Uttar Pradesh, the Indian Supreme Court permitted restrictions on speech “in the interest of” the public and not just “for the maintenance of” public order. Looking at hate speech from the ‘public order’ lens, in Amish Devgan, the Supreme Court clearly stated that freedom of speech and expression cannot be exercised to the extent that it creates public disorder.
