The court’s interim order does not ban reviews or opinions about Toxic. Instead, it specifically restrains the circulation of false, malicious, or defamatory material concerning the film. The order also notes that the injunction will remain in force until September 28. The next hearing is scheduled for that date. The court emphasised that the order is limited to preventing the dissemination of harmful content and does not restrict genuine critique or discussion about the film.

This legal action highlights the ongoing tension between filmmakers, audiences, and online content creators in the digital age. It raises questions about freedom of expression versus protection from defamation. It remains to be seen how these restrictions will impact online discourse surrounding Toxic moving forward.
