77% Informative

Asian News International filed a lawsuit against Wikipedia for allegedly publishing defamatory content against it.

The court ordered Wikipedia to disclose who made allegedly defameatory edits to the ANI page.

The hearing is still on, but Wikipedia has agreed to share basic information about the users in a sealed cover.

Experts say the outcome of the case is likely to have significant ramifications for the platform's operations in India .

In India , experts say the platform is one of the few organisations that has pushed back against the federal government's orders to take down content. But a ban could seriously derail its operations in the country. If the verdict is not in Wikipedia 's favour, “we as a society will suffer since we will not have access to impartial information”, Ms Choudhary says..
