NEW DELHI, Feb 9 (TIWN): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notice to Meta Inc (formerly Facebook) on a plea moved by BJP's Tamil Nadu spokesperson S.G. Suryah challenging the decision of the social media giant to restrict access and demonetise his account without affording him an opportunity of being heard.

Filed through Advocate Mukesh Sharma, the plea contended that in December last year the two Facebook posts containing YouTube videos were marked as community Standard Violation and thereafter the Petitioner's Facebook Page was restricted for a month with several limitations along with a disclaimer of 'Risk of my Facebook Page getting unpublished'.

The plea stated that the content of the said YouTube videos was against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), made by a novelist, orator and journalist, Jayakanthan. However, Meta had allegedly marked the two videos as 'pro LTTE' and went ahead to restrict access to his Facebook, following which it was also demonetised, the petitioner claimed.
