# Delhi HC questions Meta over copyright tool misuse 2026-08-13T03:09:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Delhi High Court on Wednesday questioned Meta's policy for its Rights Manager tool on Facebook and Instagram after a content creator alleged the system is being misused. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani observed there were 'chinks in the armour' and directed Meta to disclose its eligibility criteria for granting access to the tool. The suit was filed by Mohit Kumar, an educational content creator who claimed that others downloaded his original videos and used Rights Manager to claim copyright, while his own applications for access were repeatedly rejected. Meta told the court the copyright strikes against Kumar had been reversed. The matter will be heard next on September 24 alongside a similar petition. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: content creators, copyright, Delhi High Court, Meta, Rights Manager, social media regulation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-hc-questions-meta-over-copyright-tool-misuse-by-unauthorised-users/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
