New Delhi: The Supreme Court has become strict on the increasing misuse of social media in the country. The Supreme Court has summoned the Central Government on this issue. The apex court has asked the central government to state through affidavits how long it is going to make guidelines or rules, forcing social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp etc. to ask for information about objectionable posts. A judge of the apex court, hurt by the misuse of social media, even said that he was thinking to stop using the smartphone.

A bench of Justice Deepak Mishra and Justice Anirudh Bose said on Tuesday that it is the government's job to make guidelines or rules and not the Supreme Court or the High Court. The bench said that the privacy of the people, as well as the sovereignty of the country, should be taken into account in making guidelines. The bench said that only after the government formulates a policy in this regard, the court can consider whether it is in accordance with the law and the constitution.
