Delhi High Court Seeks Meta's Policy on Access to Copyright Management Tool
The Delhi High Court has asked Meta to clarify its policy and eligibility criteria for granting access to its Rights Manager tool, which helps content creators protect their original videos on Facebook and Instagram. The court's inquiry follows a petition by content creator Mohit Kumar, who alleged that scammers misused the tool to issue fraudulent copyright strikes against his work, while his own applications for access were repeatedly rejected without clear reasons. Meta confirmed that disputed strikes were reversed and content restored. The court scheduled further hearings for September 24 to examine the issue more closely.
