NoCap asks Kerala High Court to make authorities produce the order behind its Facebook block
NoCap's Facebook page was blocked on September 28, 2026, with only a generic notification citing government order under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, but no specific posts, issuing authority, or reasons provided. The petition argues users have a right to receive copies of government content restriction orders. This aligns with recent Punjab-Haryana High Court rulings requiring transparency in platform censorship.
Key points
- Page blocked September 28 with minimal disclosure from authorities
- Demands authorities produce and publish blocking orders
- Invokes IT Act transparency provisions similar to recent High Court precedent
