Leading news agency ANI has filed a case in the Delhi High Court alleging that changes made to its Wikipedia page caused defamation. The court has asked for information on the three individuals who made the changes and has issued contempt notices to Wikipedia for not providing that information.
Earlier, the Delhi High Court had directed the disclosure of the individuals who edited the ANI Wikipedia page. However, as Wikipedia did not comply with the order, the court issued a contempt of court notice to the platform. The court has stated, “If you don’t like India, please don’t work in India. We will ask the government to block Wikipedia in India.
” The official representative of Wikipedia has been ordered to appear in person before the court on October 25. The next hearing of the case will be held today.
