A Supreme Court bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Aniruddha Bose and Krishna Murari on Wednesday underlined the drawbacks of social media platforms. The bench said technology works to both "empower digitally fuelled movements" and at the same time, contributes to "their apparent weaknesses". The top court said, "social media channels are often fraught with danger and can lead to the creation of highly polarised environments."
