New IT rules don’t apply to search engine: Google

New Delhi, June 2

US-based Google LLC has contended that India’s new IT rules for digital media were not applicable to its search engine, and urged the Delhi High Court on Wednesday to set aside its single judge order which applied them on the company while dealing with an issue related to removal of offending content from the internet.

The single judge’s decision had come while dealing with a matter in which a woman’s photographs were uploaded on a pornographic website by some miscreants and despite court orders, the content could not be removed in entirety. — PTI
