Technical News Office – A video on YouTube has raised Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s tension. A Mumbai court issued a contempt notice to Pichai. Google’s video streaming platform YouTube has been accused of failing to comply with the court order. There are millions of YouTube users around the world. Content shared on Google’s video streaming platform goes viral very quickly, which is why the streaming platform is often criticized. Although YouTube’s policy is quite strict, a lot of objectionable content is shared there.
What’s the problem?
This notice was also given to Google CEO Sundar Pichai regarding a video uploaded to YouTube. The court ordered the removal of a video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, but it was not removed from YouTube. A contempt notice has been issued against Sundar Pichai for failing to comply with the court order. Another Chief Justice of the Mumbai court has issued a notice to Sundar Pichai asking why action should not be taken against him for contempt of court and not following his earlier order.
A few years ago, the Dhyan Foundation filed a complaint against YouTube. A derogatory video about Yogi Ashwini, the founder of this foundation, was uploaded on YouTube, in which he was called “Dhongi Baba”. The court ordered the removal of this video from YouTube. YouTube did not fully comply with this order, so a notice was issued by the court.
Accusation of tarnishing the image
This video has been removed from YouTube in India, but it is still viewable abroad. In the order passed regarding this derogatory video, the court had asked YouTube to remove the video from its platform, but YouTube blocked it only from India. The Dhyan Foundation claims that Google is deliberately tarnishing Yogi Ashwini’s image. The next hearing in this case is scheduled for January 3, 2025.
