Maharashtra Cybercrime police have launched action against alleged illegal bike taxi services across the state, after a complaint from the office of Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik. Notices were sent to mobile app store platforms to remove applications facilitating unauthorised operations. The notice cites Maharashtra Cyber’s goal of preventing widespread use while protecting public safety and enforcing legal compliance. The notice references Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act, warning app stores of potential liability if they fail to act.
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to Google and Apple in a public interest litigation alleging that apps on their stores are being used to circulate obscene and pornographic content. A division bench directed both companies and the relevant authorities to take action and submit an action taken report before the next hearing in July, citing potential violations of the IT Rules.
