The Delhi High Court has issued a contempt notice to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, over withholding information about edits to an entry on the news agency ANI. The court warned Wikipedia against non-compliance with Indian laws, declaring “if you don’t like India, please don’t work in India... we will ask government to block your site.”
The court was hearing a case filed by ANI claiming defamation by Wikipedia for allowing certain edits to a page with information about it. The alleged edit referred to ANI as “the propaganda tool” of the Indian government. The court had ordered Wikipedia to reveal details about three accounts that made the edits, but ANI claimed on Thursday that this has not been revealed.
