The Supreme Court on Monday gave a petitioner a week`s time to study new IT Rules in connection with his plea to restrain social media platforms from carrying Islamophobic content and also seeking a direction to the CBI or NIA probe against Twitter, and its users involved in putting out "inflammatory posts".
Advocate Khaja Aijazuddin, petitioner-in-person, submitted before the top court that Telangana High Court asked him to come here. He added that I have prayed for developing guidelines for social media companies so that content does not hurt religious sentiments.
