The Court ordered Meta to reveal the IP addresses of the individuals who made the phony accounts as well as basic subscriber information (BSI).
On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court ordered Meta to delete Instagram accounts that included a 15-year-old girl's distorted and pornographic photograph.
In its ruling, Justice Manoj Jain stated,
"It seems that everything happened after innocuous acceptance of some request received by the minor victim and according to minor victim, various accounts have been created using her identity, thereby constituting a clear and deliberate act of impersonation."
After discovering that phony Instagram profiles had been created in her name with her photos—some of which were distorted and pornographic—the youngster went to the Court via her mother. According to the plaint, some of the minor's photos were obtained by coercion and deception in order to intimidate and blackmail her.
The unidentified defendants were prohibited by the court from uploading any pictures of the young victim. Additionally, it ordered Meta to reveal basic subscriber information (BSI), which includes the IP addresses of the account creators. It further stated that the defendants will become parties to the lawsuit after such information is acquired.
The hearing is scheduled for September 8.
Advocates Tanya Lal, Mukesh Sharma, Dinesh Sharma, Ojaswa Pathak, Simran Brar, and Raghav Awasthi represented the minor.
For Meta, attorneys Varun Pathak, Dhruv Bhatnagar, and Nitya Nath made an appearance.
Google was visited by advocates Mamta Rani Jha, Shruttima Ehersa, and Aiswarya Debadarshini.
