About — IT Act 66A
IT Act Section 66A, invalidated in 2015, once empowered authorities to block websites and penalize individuals for sharing "offensive" online content. Its significance lies in its controversial use to suppress free speech, leading to the landmark Supreme Court case Shreya Singhal v. Union of India, which struck it down as unconstitutional.
