The Delhi High Court observed on Friday that existing safe harbour provisions do not grant X Corp immunity to refuse joining the Centre’s Sahyog portal, which aims to create a unified framework to combat cybercrime and for sharing of information related to human trafficking, child trafficking, and drug-related offences. X can’t cite safe harbour to stay out of Sahyog: HC The safe harbour provision mentioned under section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, protects online intermediaries such as social media platforms from legal liability for user-generated content posted on their platforms.

Under Section 79(3)(b), intermediaries lose this immunity if they fail to remove or disable access to unlawful content after receiving “actual knowledge” or a notification from a court or government authority. The provision requires intermediaries to take down or block access to such content within 36 hours of receiving a court order or government direction …

Disney and Marvel are resisting legal efforts to involve them in a high-profile legal dispute between actor-director Justin Baldoni and actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. In letters sent to federal Judge Lewis J. Liman, Marvel’s lawyers argue that any discovery requests involving the development of Deadpool’s new character ‘Nicepool’ should be paused.
