The Supreme Court of India has recently requested the government’s response regarding the new social media blocking rules. The regulations, which were introduced earlier this year, require social media platforms to comply with certain guidelines to prevent the spread of misinformation and harmful content. The court’s decision to seek the government’s stance on these rules comes after concerns were raised about the potential impact on freedom of speech and expression. The rules have faced criticism from various quarters, with some arguing that they could be misused to suppress dissenting voices. It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the court’s request and what implications this may have for the future of social media regulation in India. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
