In a landmark ruling, the Indian Supreme Court has prohibited popular YouTuber and entrepreneur Ranveer Allahbadia from hosting any new videos on his YouTube channel, citing concerns over the spread of harmful content and misinformation.
The petition, filed by a group of concerned citizens, accused Allahbadia of publishing videos that promote controversial views and unverified information. The petitioners claimed that his platform has been a source of confusion and disruption among young audiences.
The court’s decision has sparked debate, with supporters of Allahbadia expressing concern over the restriction on free speech, while critics argue that the decision is a necessary step toward curbing harmful online content.
In response, Allahbadia’s legal team has stated that they plan to appeal the ruling, emphasizing that his videos have always aimed to educate and entertain.
The case highlights the ongoing debate in India about the responsibility of content creators and platforms in controlling the spread of misinformation online.
