Delhi High Court Questions Meta's Access Policy for Copyright Management Tool

Analysed 12 Aug 2026·9 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Politics
Delhi High Court Questions Meta's Access Policy for Copyright Management ToolPrevious

The Delhi High Court has asked Meta to clarify its criteria for granting access to its Rights Manager tool, which helps content creators protect their original work on Facebook and Instagram. The court is hearing a petition by content creator Mohit Kumar, who alleges scammers used the tool to file fraudulent copyright claims against his videos while his own applications for access were repeatedly denied without explanation. Meta confirmed the false claims were reversed and content restored. The court scheduled further hearings to examine the tool's access policies amid concerns over misuse and creator protections.
