💨 Abstract

The operator of Wikipedia has been ordered by an Indian court to remove defamatory statements about domestic news agency ANI from its page. This marks the second major tech platform to face court battles over content takedown orders in India. ANI seeks damages of about 20 million rupees and an apology from Wikimedia. The ruling has raised questions about free speech in India, with Wikimedia expressing concerns about a chilling effect on free speech and access to knowledge.
