Media groups challenge India's privacy law in Supreme Court, arguing it amounts to pre-censorship
A group of 21 news publishers, including outlets owned by Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, challenged India's privacy law before the Supreme Court. The Digital News Publishers Association argued the consent requirement amounts to pre-censorship and could force newsrooms to shut down. The Supreme Court said it would hear the case next month.
