Section 66A scrapped. A big day for freedom of speech n expression.

My middle finger to all those in power, especially politicians, who used #Section66A to harass and intimidate those who spoke their mind.

Glad the Supreme Court has struck down Section 66A of the IT Act, which was liable to misuse (&has been abused). Freedom must not be curbed

Narendra Modi had turned his DP black to protest against #Sec66A . Then he did his classic U-turn to argue for it in Supreme Court as PM.

SC terms the provision of #66A of the IT Act as vague and says “what may be offensive to a person, may not be offensive to others”

So abusing people is no longer illegal. However, it doesn’t make it a nice thing to do. Like breaking hearts. Not illegal. Not nice. #Sec66A

A UPA inserted draconian Section 66A in IT Act struck down by SC. A welcome decision. Grossly unnecessary section done away with

Landmark judgement by Hon Supreme Court as it strikes down Sec 66A of IT Act. Freedom of thought & expression rightly upheld in a democracy.
