Can our right to liberty be infringed upon because of a social media post? That’s been the question about freelance journalist Prashant Kanojia’s arrest over a social media post where he had shared a video of a woman telling reporters that she wishes to marry Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

But most importantly the SC didn't appreciate how Kanojia was put into judicial custody over his facebook post. In The Big Story podcast we try to analyse what the Supreme Court's judgment said about Kanojia's arrest and how it might help in prevention of future arrests over social media posts in India.
