BENGALURU: Facebook Inc will remove or restrict users’ access to content if it becomes necessary to reduce adverse legal or regulatory impact on itself, the social media company said on Tuesday.

Its updated Terms of Service, effective from October 1, has however raised alarm bells among internet and free speech advocates, who called it troubling, vague, and against the Supreme Court’s judgment on online speech and intermediary liability.
