Social Media Companies Will Also Be Tightened In Criminal Cases
Social media companies will also be tightened in criminal cases related to social media.
Social media companies like YouTube may soon be cracked down in criminal cases related to social media platforms.
In view of this, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday asked the Tamil Nadu government and the state police whether social media companies cannot be implicated as accused or abettors in criminal cases involving social media platforms.
The order came in response to a petition filed by Tamil Nadu Police, seeking cancellation of bail granted to YouTuber Duraimurugan, who appeared before Justice B Pugalendhi for hearing.
Instructions to tell YouTuber’s earnings from objectionable videos. Justice B Pugalendhi observed that misuse of technology cannot be allowed.
Justice has also asked the police to submit a report, in this case, stating how much YouTuber Duraimurugan earns by circulating objectionable videos through social media platforms.
Social media is being misused to earn money.
During the hearing of the case, the judge told Duraimurugan’s counsel that it has been observed that many people are misusing social media platforms to earn money.
He also said that some people have also admitted that they have learned to commit crimes like making guns, robbing through videos on YouTube.
Instruction to submit the report in a week
The judge also questioned why social media platforms like YouTube cannot be added as accused in such cases.
The judge also directed the Tamil Nadu ADGP Cyber Crime Branch to submit a detailed report on the mechanism to be adopted to check the misuse of YouTube within a week.
