The Delhi High Court has sought the Centre's response on a plea questioning how children below the age of 18 are allowed to open an account on social networking sites including Facebook, even though Indian laws do not permit it. The court also asked two US-based entities- Facebook Inc and Google Inc – to reply to the plea of former BJP ideologue KN Govindacharya seeking an order for recovery of taxes from the websites on their income from operations in India. The court asked the government to make its stand clear on the issue through an affidavit within 10 days and posted the matter for further hearing on May 13.
