Blocked links showing deceased woman as Hathras rape victim: Facebook, Google, Twitter to Delhi HC

Social media platforms Facebook, Google and Twitter on Thursday told the Delhi High Court that they have blocked or taken down all the links which incorrectly showed a deceased woman’s photo as that of the Hathras rape victim.

The submission was made before Justice Prathiba M Singh by the three platforms in response to the court’s November 23, 2020 direction to remove all those links which showed the deceased woman as the rape victim.

The court had also said that “a victim cannot go on searching for links and making complaints. There has to be some other solution.”
