An Indian court on Tuesday directed the government to respond to an appeal submitted by a comedian challenging recent changes to the country's IT rules, which prevent social media platforms from hosting information that the government terms 'fake'.

The rules dictate that social media platforms "make reasonable efforts" to not "publish, share or host" any information relating to the government that is identified as "fake, false or misleading" by a government appointed fact-checking unit. "There may be many interpretations of a certain thing or statement but that doesn't make it false or fake," Justice GS Patel said during the hearing, news website Live Law reported.
He further stated that the move would lead to an "unreasonable restriction" on his "fundamental right to practice trade or profession" since he relies on social media platforms to share his content.
