About Webinar

Legal Vidhiya is organising a FREE LIVE WEBINAR titled “Social Media, Free Speech & Defamation: Where Does the Law Draw the Line?” on 25 October 2026 (Sunday), at 5:00 PM onwards, via Google Meet. The webinar aims to provide practical insights into the legal boundaries of online expression and the balance between freedom of speech and the right to reputation.

With the rapid growth of digital platforms, social media has become an important space for sharing opinions and information. However, online expression also raises legal concerns relating to defamation, hate speech, content regulation, and the responsibility of social media platforms. This session will explore the legal framework governing online speech in India and the limits imposed by applicable laws.

The webinar will cover key topics, including freedom of speech online, civil and criminal aspects of digital defamation, intermediary liability, content takedowns, blocking, compliance obligations, and the balance between freedom of expression and protection of reputation. The session will be led by Adv. Rimjhim Mathur, Advocate, Intellectual Property Law Expert, and Legal Educator, who will share practical perspectives on these emerging legal issues.

This webinar is ideal for law students, legal professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in digital rights and social media law. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of online expression, legal accountability, and the remedies available under the law. Registration is free. Register now to enhance your understanding of social media law and the legal challenges of the digital age!
