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.

The appeal seeks to overturn the September 2025 judgement, which dismissed X Corp’s original plea and upheld the use of the centralised platform designed to automate notices to intermediaries for the removal of unlawful online content. The core of the legal dispute lies in the interpretation of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, specifically the interplay between Section 69A and Section 79(3)(b). X Corp contends that mandatory blocking orders can only be issued through the detailed due-process framework prescribed under Section 69A and its accompanying 2009 …
