Wikimedia Foundation has appealed an Indian court ruling that ordered the removal of allegedly defamatory content about ANI. This follows ANI's lawsuit over a Wikipedia description labelling it a "government propaganda tool", highlighting tensions in content regulation.
Wikipedia’s operator, the Wikimedia Foundation, has filed an appeal against an Indian court ruling that ordered the removal of allegedly defamatory content from its page on the domestic news website ANI. This move comes after a lawsuit from the Indian news agency, which claimed that Wikipedia's description of ANI, describing it as a “government propaganda tool,” was damaging to its reputation.
The Delhi High Court issued the ruling last week, prompting Wikimedia to challenge it before a larger panel of judges. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that Wikimedia is seeking a review of the decision, although the company has not yet commented publicly on the appeal.
The case highlights the growing tension between international tech platforms and the Indian government over content regulation. Wikimedia’s appeal follows similar legal battles involving other major platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), which is contesting a separate court order to remove content related to the Indian farmers’ protests of 2021.
As the legal proceedings continue, the case may have significant implications for content moderation and free speech in India, particularly for global platforms operating in the country.
