Controversy Regarding Section 66 A in India Posted: 03 Dec 2012 03:17 AM PST Your content on the Internet may land you up in legal mess. There is a uproar in the country over the imposition of the section 66 A in last few days and political scores have been settled by some people who are not happy with the contents of the social net working sites , and have tried to silence you with this dreaded law under section 66 A. Section 66 A of the Information and Technology Act empowers the police to arrest you if a complaint has been filed against you for expressing your views and opinions, and that is way of taking away your fundamental right of freedom of speech. A public litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court and the court has directed the government to file its reply and the learned court is of the opinion that amendments and changes are needed to stop the misuse of this law. The litigation aims to draw the courts attention to police excesses using 66 A of the Information and Technology Act, 2000, and protect users of social networking sites in India from future harassment and give you the right to express your contents freely.
