A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Delhi High Court seeking directions to the Indian government to frame guidelines and enact a law to protect children under 13 by restricting their social media access, and to regulate content for those aged 13 to 16. Filed by Kirti Dua and a paediatrician, the petition argues that addictive content on social media threatens children's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It urges the court to direct major social media companies—including Meta, Alphabet, Telegram, Snap, and X—to implement robust age-verification systems. The plea notes that India lacks a robust digital ID system for minors and that existing parental consent mechanisms are easily bypassed. It relies on findings from the Economic Survey 2025-26 highlighting growing digital addiction. The case was listed before a Division Bench on July 29, 2026, but after one justice recused, it was rescheduled for August 5, 2026.

On July 29, 2026, the Delhi Police wrote to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) requesting the removal of posts containing derogatory, malicious, and defamatory content targeting constitutional heads. The police also demanded registrant details of the account holder.

He added that no FIR related to such posts has been registered in the past month. Separately, the Delhi Police is also sending takedown notices to Instagram regarding reels and posts from youth protests at Jantar Mantar.

The Delhi High Court has ordered the makers of the proposed film 'Kala Hiran – The Battle For Legacy' to remove its teaser and all related promotional content within 24 hours, ruling that the material prima facie violates Bollywood actor Salman Khan's personality rights. Justice Jyoti Singh issued the interim order on July 27, 2026, while hearing Khan's application in his pending personality rights suit.

The court found that the content causes irreparable harm to Khan's reputation and goodwill, and restrained the defendants from disseminating the material across any platform. If the defendants fail to comply, platforms including X, Meta, and Google must disable access to identified URLs upon notification by Khan.

Elon Musk's social media platform X has launched its X Money banking service to all US subscribers of its paid Premium and Premium+ tiers, marking a major step in Musk's ambition to transform X into an 'everything app' similar to China's WeChat. The service allows users to hold deposits, send peer-to-peer payments, pay bills, wire money, and mail checks without leaving the app. Deposits are held at Cross River Bank and insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. X Money offers an annual percentage yield of up to 6%, significantly higher than most US high-yield savings accounts. The rollout follows a limited test in late June. The service has drawn scrutiny from US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who questioned the sustainability of the high yield and cited past FDIC enforcement actions against Cross River Bank. X Money positions the platform to compete with established payment apps like Venmo, Cash App, and SoFi.

This opinion article argues that digital assets management must become a standard component of end-of-life care. With 535 million WhatsApp users and 9.75 million annual deaths in India, vast amounts of digital data—social media profiles, emails, cloud photos, cryptocurrency wallets—remain locked and unmanaged after death. The author notes that death is now a digital event, and families struggle to access or manage loved ones' digital traces, which can both comfort and cause grief. The Gujarat High Court recently ruled that iCloud data can form part of a deceased's estate, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 allows nomination of a person to exercise data rights after death. International platforms offer partial tools like Apple's legacy contact and Meta's memorialization options. The article calls for individuals to decide in advance whether their digital traces are deleted, preserved, or transferred, and for healthcare systems to integrate digital legacy planning into end-of-life care.

This analysis from TheStreet, published on Yahoo Finance, explores a hypothetical scenario: what if Elon Musk had invested the $44 billion he used to acquire Twitter in October 2022 into Bitcoin and gold instead. The article calculates that a $22 billion investment in Bitcoin at ~$20,000 per coin would now be worth ~$70.4 billion (a 220% return), while a $22 billion investment in gold at ~$1,660 per ounce would be worth ~$43.7 billion. The combined hypothetical portfolio would be worth approximately $114.1 billion, more than 2.5 times the original outlay. In contrast, Twitter (now X) has recovered to roughly its $44 billion purchase price after significant turbulence. The article notes that the comparison is purely financial and does not account for X's strategic value as a communications platform, political tool, and super-app play for Musk.
