Claim: No more arrests for any kind of posts on social media as Section 66A of IT Act, 2000 has been struck down by the Supreme Court.
Fact-check: Section 66A (IT Act) was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2015 - FACTLY
Verdict: section 66a of it act, 2000 has been struck down by the supreme court in 2015; not recently. also, there are various provisions in other laws under which a person can be arrested for posting specific content violative of those laws on social media. so, a person is accountable for his posts on social media and can still be arrested. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
