The Indian government has recently announced new guidelines for social media and streaming platforms in the country. These guidelines aim to regulate digital content and ensure a safer online environment for users. Under the new rules, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are required to appoint local grievance officers to address user complaints. Additionally, these platforms must remove unlawful content within 36 hours of receiving a complaint. Streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+Hotstar will now be required to classify their content into categories such as U (Universal), U/A 7+ (years), U/A 13+, U/A 16+, and A (Adult). This move is aimed at protecting children from inappropriate content. Furthermore, the guidelines mandate that digital news platforms must disclose their ownership and funding sources. Non-compliance with these regulations could result in penalties and even the blocking of the platforms. These new rules have sparked a debate on freedom of speech and censorship in India. While some argue that the guidelines are necessary to combat misinformation and harmful content, others believe that they could be used to stifle dissent and limit freedom of expression. It remains to be seen how these regulations will be implemented and what impact they will have on the digital landscape in India.
