My friend shared a post on my Facebook page about someone’s actions from a few years ago. It was critical of this person, and now they’re threatening to file a case with the cyber cell. I didn’t write the post myself, just re-shared it. I heard the relevant law might have changed. Will I get in trouble?

Under the Information Technology Act, 2000, you may be held responsible for sharing defamatory content, even if you didn’t create it. The recent amendment introduced stricter provisions for online content, making sharing potentially harmful content a punishable offense. The cyber cell may investigate the matter, and legal consequences are possible.
