The Supreme Court has said social media users should be careful about its impact and reach as it dismissed a petition filed by actor and former Tamil Nadu MLA S. Ve Shekher, who is facing cases for sharing a Facebook post in 2018 allegedly containing derogatory remarks against women journalists.
A bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and P.K. Mishra was hearing a plea filed by Mr. Shekher against the July 14 order of the Madras High Court which had dismissed his petition seeking quashing of criminal proceedings relating to the post shared by him.
"If one uses social media, then he should be more careful about its impact and reach," the bench told the advocate representing the petitioner.
