India's Supreme Court refused to set nationwide rules for social media suspensions, saying the issue needs legislation, not court action.
The Supreme Court of India declined on October 10, 2025, to hear a petition seeking nationwide guidelines for social media account suspensions, allowing petitioners to withdraw their plea and pursue remedies through lower courts or civil suits.
The petitioners, who run a medical clinic, claimed their WhatsApp accounts were blocked without notice, disrupting business operations.
The court, led by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, noted that social media platforms are not state entities, there is no fundamental right to use specific apps, and the matter requires legislative or regulatory attention rather than immediate judicial intervention.
The ruling emphasizes due process and transparency in content moderation but stops short of establishing binding rules.
