BBC Documentary Ban: Yet Another Example of the Government’s Abuse of its Emergency Powers

Posted on March 22, 2023March 22, 2023 by Tech Law Forum NALSAR
[This post by Paras Khetan and Anish Gupta, 2nd year students at NLSIU, Bangalore, explains how the  order blocking the BBC Documentary is violative of the IT Act and the rules thereunder. It also brings forth the larger problem of constant abuse of the government’s emergency powers under the IT Rules.]

Introduction

Recently, the government issued an order blocking the airing of the BBC documentary titled, ‘India: The Modi Question.’ The government invoked its emergency powers under Rule 16 of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules, 2021 (‘IT Rules’) to direct YouTube and Twitter to block URLs that enabled access to the documentary. The government in its order cited the impact of the documentary to “undermine the sovereignty and integrity of India” as the ground for banning the documentary. While the validity of the order is currently under challenge in the Supreme Court, the authors are writing this paper in anticipation of the judgement and suggest how the Court should decide the matter at hand. We argue that the government order is plagued with illegality for violating the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (‘IT Act’) and the rules thereunder. The order does away with the safeguards relied upon by the landmark judgement in Shreya Singhal v Union of India while upholding the constitutionality of Section 69A. We shall also conceptualise and situate the recent happenings into the larger paradigm of executive aggrandizement and the constant abuse of emergency powers by the government.
