NEW DELHI: Facebook India on Tuesday told a Delhi trial court that the lawsuit against it for hosting 'objectionable' content has been filed "deliberately with ulterior motives" and that it is not responsible for user-generated content hosted on its website.
Facebook's written submission to the court comes just days after Yahoo India said that the lawsuit against it was 'motivated'.
Facebook, which has about 46 million users in India, pleaded before the court to remove its name as one of the parties in the petition saying "it is not responsible for hosting the content that may appear on Facebook.com or any website". It said that it is being wrongly prosecuted under the incorrect description of 'Facebook' and stated that its correct addressal is 'Facebook India Online Services Pvt Ltd'.
