Remove objectionable content, respect feelings of people: Delhi HC to Twitter

THE Delhi High Court Friday asked Twitter to remove allegedly objectionable content related to a Hindu goddess and observed that the micro-blogging site should respect the feelings of the people.

The division bench of Chief Justice D.N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh told the counsel representing Twitter that it should give importance to the sentiments of the people and remove the content. The court, however, did not pass any formal order for the removal of the content.

“You remove this content. I don’t think the petitioner will even press this matter,” said the court, during the hearing of a petition seeking removal of the content.
