The Gujarat High Court has issued notices to Meta, X, and Google in response to a PIL petition seeking judicial intervention to curb the misuse of artificial intelligence across their platforms. The case stems from reported patterns of non-compliance by tech platforms with lawful notices, including frequent delays and repeated procedural failures cited by both the Union and Gujarat state governments before the court. The PIL's central demand is a judicial check on AI misuse, situating the case within India's broader and still-evolving regulatory vacuum around generative AI and platform accountability. The court's notice-issuance is a preliminary procedural step, compelling the three companies to formally respond and enter the litigation record. How Meta, X, and Google frame their replies will signal their compliance posture ahead of any possible Indian legislative action on AI governance. Watching for the companies' formal responses and whether the court elevates the matter to a full bench will indicate how seriously the judiciary intends to pursue platform accountability on AI.
