Silly Souls Café case: Google tells Smriti Irani to supply URLs that need to be removed

The Delhi High Court on Monday sought Union Minister Smriti Irani’s response to an application moved by Google stating that it cannot remove the alleged defamatory content against her in connection with Silly Souls Café and Bar on Youtube on its own without it being provided the links of those videos.

Justice Mini Pushkarna in the order passed last month directed the Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera and Netta D’Souza to delete and remove their social media posts against Irani. The court had further directed Google, Twitter and Meta to remove such content “or anything similar thereto” from their platforms.
