YouTuber fined for Rs. 7 lac for giving false information

In a recent legal case that has garnered considerable attention, YouTuber Akshay, operating under the pseudonym “Dicapscoop” on YouTube and Instagram, found himself in a courtroom battle with a company specializing in the sale of refined oil products. The company alleges that Akshay, through his online channels, disseminated misleading and damaging information about their products, which resulted in harm to their reputation and sales.

This case underscores the growing influence of social media and online platforms in shaping public opinion and consumer choices, as well as the legal ramifications that can arise when content creators fail to adhere to ethical and truthful standards in their content. As the case unfolds, it raises important questions about the responsibilities and accountability of content creators in the digital age.

The YouTuber is making the most of videos about cheating by brand and tips for people. In one of his videos, she showed the measurement of the oil in the pack of “Gold Winner” and claimed that the quantity of oil in the 1-litre pack is only 700 ml.

The company claimed that he used some wrong measurements in the video. It hurt the brand image of the company. They have been in the market for 30 years. This spread a negative sentiment about the product of the Company.

The Company claimed a compensation of Rs. 1 Cr. But the court found it without any base. The court allowed the Compensation of only Rs. 7 lac.

The YouTuber will be liable to pay this compensation to the company for the harm he created to their repute.
