Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 28: The Allahabad High Court has said that freedom of expression on social media, does not allow citizens to make irresponsible statements, nor does it grant a license to use objectionable language.

The Court said that nowadays, social media has become a global platform for the exchange of ideas and opinions. Today, the Internet and social media have become important tools of life through which individuals express themselves, through which people can exercise their right to freedom.
