The Supreme Court on Tuesday warned the Centre it would make inoperative certain controversial provisions of the Information Technology (IT) Act often invoked by authorities to muzzle free speech on social media, if it failed to clarify its stand within a week. Heavens are not going to fall if the provisions are stayed... because this country has been in existence for the past 60 years without these provisions, a bench headed by Justice J Chelameswar said. Either you file the affidavit within a week or we will stay the operation of the provisions until we dispose of the matter, the bench told additional solicitor general Maninder Singh as he sought two weeks to file an affidavit. hindustantimes/india-news/sc-warns-centre-on-provision-used-to-muzzle-free-speech-on-social-media/article1-1292533.aspx
