Editors Guild Concerned Over Adani Content Restrictions
The Editors Guild is worried about a court order that stops journalists from sharing information about Adani Enterprises if it's not checked and might be harmful.
The Guild thinks this could stop reporters from writing stories they want to write and limit free speech.
The government also told platforms to take down some content.
The Guild wants the courts to handle any accusations carefully and not let companies silence their critics.
They believe a free press is very important for democracy.
Editors Guild of India expressed concern over Delhi court order.
Order restricts publication of unverified content about Adani Enterprises.
EGI warns order risks curbing free expression and press freedom.
Ministry directed platforms to remove content per the order.
Journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta appealed the order.
