Social Media has been playing an integral role in enhancing people’s existing connections, making new ones, and getting social support. One of its most essential roles is to help them stay in touch with their friends and family. 4.74 billion people used social media globally in October 2022, accounting for 59.3 per cent of the world's population, according to a Kepios analysis. The world is an ever-evolving place; thus, the dynamics of social media have also shifted. Owing to this, many new platforms have been emerging to give what the old platforms could not, one such platform is Ownsfare by Vasukam.
Advocate Vishal Tiwari, who has filed the petition, mentioned the matter for urgent listing before a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud on Thursday.
Tiwari told the bench, also comprising Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala, that a separate plea filed on the issue is scheduled to be listed for hearing on February 10.
He urged the bench that his plea be also heard on Friday along with the separate plea.
In his public interest litigation (PIL), Tiwari has also sought directions to set up a special committee to oversee the sanction policy for loans of over Rs 500 crore given to big corporates.
Last week, another PIL was filed in the apex court by advocate M L Sharma seeking prosecution of short seller Nathan Anderson of US-based firm Hindenburg Research and his associates in India and the US for allegedly exploiting innocent investors and the "artificial crashing" of Adani Group's stock value in the market.
The Adani Group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, against the business conglomerate.
The Adani Group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements.
