The Supreme Court on Thursday said Facebook has the "power of not simply a hand but a fist, gloved as it may be", as these platforms employ business models having potential to polarise public debates.

 The Supreme Court on Thursday said that Delhi Assembly can seek information from Facebook and its officials in connection with their alleged role in the 2020 Delhi Riots, but the social media platform can't be compelled to answer on issues relating to law and order and any other subject which falls under the Centre's domain.
