Mangaluru, Sep 15: Frustrated over the non-cooperation by the Facebook in cases of derogatory posts, Mangaluru city police chief has hinted at waging a legal battle against the social media giant.
The city police have sent three notices to Facebook authorities, including in the recent case of derogatory Facebook post on?goddess Durgaparameshwari, the presiding deity of a temple in Kateel on the outskirts of Mangaluru.
However, the Facebook authorities have neither shared the required information with the police in investigating the cases, nor responded to the notices.
M Chandra Sekhar, the commissioner of Mangaluru city police, told media persons here that in such cases it will be the responsibility of the social networking sites to provide the IP addresses from which the posts were sent.
“The Facebook might be a big company, but, when the safety, security, unity and integrity of the nation is concerned, it is small,” he said adding that the police will explore the legal means to take them head on.
He also said that the police would send yet another reminder to the Facebook seeking its co-operation in the derogatory post cases and if it still refused to respond, they would have no other option but to approach the court.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
