Digital Rights Groups Challenge Fake Takedown Notices Linked to RSS and Delhi Police
Digital rights groups Internet Freedom Foundation and Software Freedom Law Center received purported legal notices from an email impersonating the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), asking them to stop documenting government content restrictions. Both the RSS and Delhi Police denied issuing these notices, with investigations revealing the emails were likely fabricated. The groups have challenged the takedown requests in the Delhi High Court, seeking to quash the notices amid lack of official police confirmation or response.
