The section penalised the sending of \"offensive messages\" via online communication however failed to define the term “offensive”. Owing to excessive vagueness, the provision was often abused by enforcement authorities and ran the risk of having a chilling effect on free speech on the internet. In 2015, the section was deemed unconstitutional by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Shreya Singhal v Union of India (2015) 5 SCC 1. However, despite repeated directions by the Supreme Court, the most recent in 2019, the provision continues to be invoked across the country.\n\nWe're collaborating with the [Internet Freedom Foundation](https://internetfreedom.in/) (IFF) to create a database of all cases registered under this provision since its inception. This dataset shall further help IFF and other stakeholders insights in strengthening the advocacy efforts to ensure that S. 66A dies a complete constitutional death.\n","aim":null,"solution":null,"url":"https://zombietracker.in","github":"https://github.com/CivicDataLab/stop-66A","twitter":"https://twitter.com/internetfreedom","linkedin":null,"youtube":null,"facebook":null,"newsletter":null,"resources":[{"link":"https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/updates/2023/01/third-time-lucky-section-66a-and-the-afterlife-of-strategic-litigation/","title":"Third Time Lucky?: Section 66A and the Afterlife of Strategic Litigation","type":"blog"},{"link":"https://medium.com/civicdatalab/a-data-driven-approach-to-curb-the-zombie-that-is-66a-1578d955ad4b","title":"A data driven approach to curb the zombie that is 66A","type":"blog"},{"link":"https://medium.com/civicdatalab/launching-the-zombie-tracker-11a592a60071","title":"What we learned while developing the Zombie Tracker","type":"blog"},{"link":"https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/internet/internet-digital-liberties-organisations-of-india-2021/article33782713.ece","title":"The uphill battle for India’s digital rights","type":"News"},{"link":"https://internetfreedom.in/we-write-to-the-supreme-court-e-committee-with-cdl-to-improve-the-ecourts-platform/","title":"We write to the Supreme Court e-Committee with CDL to improve the eCourts platform","type":"blog"},{"link":"http://zombietracker.in/blog/","title":"Zombie Tracker - Blogs","type":"blog"},{"link":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcFKCTNGEZU","title":"Zombie Tracker - Launch Event","type":"video"}],"image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAOCAIAAACgpqunAAAACXBIWXMAAC4jAAAuIwF4pT92AAAAy0lEQVQoz2PgldAiGzEMGs18kto84ppARI5mLlENoH5BGT0+CS0eIAIbBEc4NfNJanGKqqvp2WoZOciomspqWAAFReT0hWX1hWT1hOX0BaR18WkGWqtt5KBt4iivYqytacYvo6dv7mzt5Gtu521m66moaQl2Fw5nc4tpqOvZyOnYpBvr15toSsloC8sbiisYiioYiCsaCcro4vMz0Ffy6uYymlbuOobhWpoCklrcyH4mHGBiGtyiGmximmxiWjxkRBUYafEPqRRGEgIAxg1dSEtg6YQAAAAASUVORK5CYII=","aspectRatio":1.408450704225352,"src":"/static/1894d829a0c22197c4cb58d7b96dc12d/6050d/image.png","srcSet":"/static/1894d829a0c22197c4cb58d7b96dc12d/37d5a/image.png 300w,\n/static/1894d829a0c22197c4cb58d7b96dc12d/8c332/image.png 600w,\n/static/1894d829a0c22197c4cb58d7b96dc12d/6050d/image.png 1200w,\n/static/1894d829a0c22197c4cb58d7b96dc12d/57b6e/image.png 1747w","sizes":"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"}}}}},"members":{"nodes":[{"id":"0ab54839-c36a-5539-ba7c-00f71434f789","fields":{"slug":"/team/gaurav/"},"frontmatter":{"name":"Gaurav Godhwani","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":0.8,"src":"/static/9aa2edf21ff344a978b969962c174413/2f1b1/gaurav.jpg","srcSet":"/static/9aa2edf21ff344a978b969962c174413/fd013/gaurav.jpg 200w,\n/static/9aa2edf21ff344a978b969962c174413/25252/gaurav.jpg 400w,\n/static/9aa2edf21ff344a978b969962c174413/2f1b1/gaurav.jpg 800w,\n/static/9aa2edf21ff344a978b969962c174413/724c8/gaurav.jpg 1000w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}}]},"partners":{"nodes":[{"id":"13431639-f988-5839-9c07-2cee4e3d96bc","frontmatter":{"name":"Internet Freedom Foundation","website":"https://internetfreedom.in/","logo":{"childImageSharp":{"fixed":{"width":110,"height":43,"src":"/static/5f266a5e74653f41a0d787654e15d0a2/de665/logo.png","srcSet":"/static/5f266a5e74653f41a0d787654e15d0a2/de665/logo.png 1x,\n/static/5f266a5e74653f41a0d787654e15d0a2/a406c/logo.png 1.5x,\n/static/5f266a5e74653f41a0d787654e15d0a2/03475/logo.png 2x"}}}}}]}},"pageContext":{"id":"8371e35c-4498-59c9-896e-04f671dddda4","nameRegex":"/Zombie Tracker/"}},"staticQueryHashes":["1001143701","203280391","2269431855","2668793990"]}
