Delhi High Court Dismisses Petition Challenging LinkedIn Account Restriction
The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition challenging the indefinite restriction of a user's LinkedIn account, ruling that LinkedIn, as a private platform, does not perform a public function subject to writ jurisdiction under Article 226. The petitioner alleged lack of prior warning and unclear reasons for the restriction, with unsuccessful appeals for manual review. The court suggested civil litigation as a more appropriate remedy for grievances against the platform's actions.
