Delhi court orders Wikipedia to remove defamatory content about ANI and alter page protections.

The Delhi High Court has ordered Wikipedia to remove defamatory content about the news agency ANI from its page and to lift the page's 'protected' status. ANI filed a defamation suit, leading to a legal dispute over online platforms' responsibilities for user-generated content. Despite Wikipedia's claim that it does not verify the accuracy of its content, the court found it problematic that Wikipedia presents itself as an encyclopedia without endorsing the content.
