SC issues notice to Centre, others on Facebook plea

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Centre and others seeking their response on whether to transfer all cases from three High Courts to itself to decide whether social networking sites should be compelled to share with police information pertaining to criminals.
The court also sought responses from social media entities Twitter, Google and YouTube on Facebook’s plea and listed the matter for further hearing on September 13.
However, it did not stay proceedings in the High Courts but refrained them from passing any final order. (IANS)
