Delhi High Court Orders Social Media Giants to Remove Unauthorized Rafting Video

The Delhi High Court has ordered Google, Facebook, and X to remove links to an unauthorized video of a woman river rafting. Uploaded by a rafting instructor and a travel agency, the video led to trolling and harassment. The woman claims her privacy was violated and seeks legal protection.

The Delhi High Court has issued an order mandating Google, Facebook, and X to remove links to a video of a woman engaged in river rafting. This decision follows her claim that the clip, uploaded without her consent, resulted in online trolling and harassment.

Justice Sachin Datta instructed these platforms, alongside a rafting instructor and a travel agency in Rishikesh, to halt the publication of the unauthorized video. Notices have also been sent to the Centre and relevant parties to respond to the woman's plea, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for July 22.

The woman, whose vacation video was spread online, stated it breached her privacy and led to cyber abuse. The footage was recorded during a rafting experience she booked but was released without her consent.
