Meta, X Oppose Ramdev's Personality Rights Plea in Delhi HC: 'Can't Sanitize Internet'

• Social media platforms Meta and X have opposed key reliefs sought by Baba Ramdev in his personality rights suit before the Delhi High Court.
• They argue that granting such reliefs could lead to the removal of satire, parody, political commentary, news reports, and fact-checks.
• X informed the court that 14 of 16 flagged URLs were removed, noting one account changed its name to "Karl Marx."
• Meta stated it has no issue removing unlawful content but news reporting shouldn't be injuncted under personality rights.
• Platforms oppose global blocking orders or proactive filtering, citing infringement on freedom of speech; the court will review a consolidated list of content and objections.
