Supreme Court asks centre to form expert panel to check Blue Whale game

The Supreme Court of India has asked central government to form a separate panel of experts to stop virtual dare games like Blue Whale challenge which has led to several suicidal death in past few months.

The Court also sought the government's response on a plea seeking to firewall such life threatening/violent games existing in the cyber world like 'Choking game', 'Salt and Ice Challenge', 'Fire Challenge', 'Cutting challenge', 'Eyeball challenge' and 'Human Embroidery game'.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked the government to set up an experts committee to create such firewalls and file its reply latest by October 27.

The bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and AM Khanwilkar, also restrained all high courts from entertaining such pleas.

The appeal was filed by an activist and advocate Sneha Kalita who sought directions to intermediaries, particularly network service providers (NSPs), internet service providers (ISP), Web Hosting Service Providers, cyber cafes to observe due diligence and take steps to inform all users of computer resources "not to host, display, upload and share any virtual digital games which is grossly harmful and life threatening and morally degrading."

The apex court is already hearing a plea filed by a 73-year-old man from Tamil Nadu seeking a ban on the Blue Whale challenge game allegedly linked to the deaths of several children worldwide.
