NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — ### NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — Public figures and digital rights advocates have intensified criticism against recent social media content restrictions following the ban on prominent Instagram accounts like 'Bring Back Ballot'.
**The Delhi High Court has intervened strictly in the matter, demanding formal responses from the central government and Meta regarding the suppression of specific digital pages.** This legal scrutiny comes amid widespread discussions on online freedom of speech and the systematic removal of posts across various social media platforms.
### Official Responses and Motives
**Abhijeet Dipke expressed severe displeasure over the developments, asserting that silencing voices through account shutdowns fails to address core questions and only serves to increase public distrust.** The underlying grievance involves allegations of selective content moderation and censorship of critical political commentary, prompting citizens and legal experts to question the regulatory frameworks governing digital intermediaries.
### Legal and Institutional Oversight
**Judicial authorities are currently reviewing whether the actions taken by authorities and platforms align with established constitutional provisions on free expression.** Stakeholders are closely monitoring the responses from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Meta to understand the precise legal grounds invoked for these digital restrictions.
The controversy follows increasing scrutiny over the regulation of digital content and social media handles in India, leading to multiple petitions in constitutional courts challenging arbitrary blocks.
