A third party who uploads the content is not touched and we are sought to be liable in the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Facebook India is not the controller of Facebook.com, it is Facebook.com which removes the content not me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mukul Rohtagi, counsel for Google India, said: \u201cGoogle India is an Indian company and service provider is Google Inc., which is an American company. A person can make complaints to the service provider to remove derogatory contents not me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google in its petition said that it had been appointed as a distributor of Google Inc&#8217;s Adwords programme in India on a principal-to-principal basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoogle has not been appointed as an agent, partner or franchise of Google Inc. In its capacity as a distributor, the petitioner engages in business development and promotional activities for certain limited products that include Google search, Youtube and Orkut,\u201d Rohtagi added.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted that some articles were obscene but said the company could not control that. He said: \u201cPeople like crazy, obscene and defamatory articles, we cannot control people&#8217;s mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neeraj Kishan Kaul for Google India said that the company was not liable as someone else posted the derogatory contents.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court Wednesday issued notices to the Delhi Police and Vinay Rai who had filed the petition in the trial court against the websites alleging they were hosting obscene and derogatory content.<\/p>\n<p>The move came as Facebook and Google approached the high court challenging a trial court&#8217;s order.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had observed that the material submitted by the complainant contained obscene pictures and derogatory articles pertaining to various Hindu deities, Prophet Mohammad and Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had also directed the central government to take immediate and appropriate steps on the objectionable content on the sites and file its report by Jan 13.
