Meta moves top consumer court against Facebook’s ‘e-commerce platform’ classification

Meta moves top consumer court against Facebook’s ‘e-commerce platform’ classification Global tech giant Meta Platforms has moved India’s top consumer court challenging a January order of a top tribunal Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) that classified Facebook as an ‘e-commerce platform’ under consumer protection laws in a case related to the alleged unauthorised listing and sale of walkie-talkies on Facebook Marketplace. The appeal came up before the Delhi bench of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) on Wednesday, where the commission admitted Meta’s appeal and issued notice to the consumer authority. The commission also restrained CCPA from taking coercive action against Meta, noting that the company had already deposited the ₹10 lakh penalty imposed under the order. The matter has been listed for further hearing in October 2026. Although Meta deposited the penalty amount, it challenged the legal classification of Facebook Marketplace as an ‘e-commerce platform’, arguing that it does not function like online marketplaces such as Amazon or Flipkart and that the classification could have wider commercial and regulatory implications for the company. An ‘e-commerce entity’ is defined as “any person who owns, operates or manages a digital or electronic facility or platform for electronic commerce", under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020. Meta argued that Facebook Marketplace should not automatically be treated as an e-commerce entity under consumer protection laws and questioned the applicability of the Consumer Protection Act, E-Commerce Rules and advertising guidelines to its platform. The company further argued that Facebook Marketplace is merely a ‘notice board’ for users to post listings and not a commercial marketplace facilitating transactions.

“Will Go To Supreme Court”: Satadru Dutta Breaks Silence On Lionel Messi Kolkata Chaos After Election Defeat

“Will Go To Supreme Court”: Satadru Dutta Breaks Silence On Lionel Messi Kolkata Chaos After Election Defeat Sports organizer Satadru Dutta broke his silence over the chaos during Lionel Messi’s GOAT Tour in Kolkata, warning of defamation action and even approaching the Supreme Court over allegations linked to the disorder. He said he would publicly reveal details surrounding the incident following the electoral defeat of Aroop Biswas. Sports event organizer Satadru Dutta has finally broken his silence regarding the disorder that erupted during the first leg of Lionel Messi’s GOAT Tour in India at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Messi, the Argentina captain, along with Inter Miami teammates Luis Suarez and Rodrigo de Paul, was evacuated from the venue within 25 minutes due to crowd-related issues and vandalism. Dutta, the organizer of the tour, was arrested at the airport while departing for the Hyderabad leg. Meanwhile, the then Bengal sports minister, Aroop Biswas, also faced criticism after a capacity crowd was allegedly prevented from getting a clear view of Messi. Reports claimed that politicians and local administrators crowded around the football star. After spending 39 days in custody, Satadru has now said he plans to go public about the incident following Biswas’ defeat in the West Bengal assembly elections and the Trinamool Congress government losing power.

AI Is Showing Bias Against Poor Communities, Social Justice Essential For Balanced Society: CJI Surya Kant

AI Is Showing Bias Against Poor Communities, Social Justice Essential For Balanced Society: CJI Surya Kant CJI Surya Kant Speaking at the 8th Dinkar Memorial Lecture organised by Respect India expressed concern over growing reports of artificial intelligence systems showing bias against poor and vulnerable communities, stressing that equality, dignity, and fairness remain essential pillars of a humane and balanced society. Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant said he is concerned that, even as artificial intelligence is growing rapidly, more and more reports suggest AI systems are showing bias against poor and vulnerable communities. Emphasising the importance of social justice, the CJI said that equality, dignity, and fairness are still the core of a humane and well-balanced society. Justice Kant made these remarks while delivering the 8th Dinkar Memorial Lecture titled “Rashmirathi: The Epic of Social Justice,” organised by Respect India. Referring to the works of renowned Hindi poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, he noted that Dinkar’s writings had already expressed the principles of equality and human dignity long before these ideas were formally adopted in the Constitution of India. On the expanding role of technology, Justice Kant said, “reports have started coming that the technology also discriminates and is sometimes biased.” ALSO READ: Indian Identity Abroad Rooted in Constitution, Not Just Culture: Justice Surya Kant His comments come during ongoing global debates about algorithmic discrimination, bias in data, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in governance, jobs, policing, and welfare programmes. Recalling his childhood, the CJI said his family encouraged him to read Dinkar and other major writers, including Munshi Premchand, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, and Mahadevi Varma.
