In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for social media platforms and digital news outlets in the country. These guidelines aim to regulate the content shared on these platforms and hold them accountable for any misinformation or unlawful content. The guidelines require social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to appoint a grievance officer who will address user complaints within a specific timeframe. Moreover, these platforms are required to remove any content flagged as inappropriate by the authorities. In addition to social media platforms, digital news outlets are also required to follow the new guidelines. They are required to disclose their ownership and funding sources, and are prohibited from sharing fake news or content that could affect the country’s sovereignty and integrity. These guidelines come in the wake of growing concerns about the spread of fake news and misinformation on social media platforms and digital news outlets. The Indian government has been taking steps to curb the spread of fake news and regulate digital media platforms in the country. With these new guidelines in place, it is expected that social media platforms and digital news outlets will be more accountable for the content shared on their platforms. The implementation of these guidelines will have a significant impact on the digital media landscape in India and will help in creating a more transparent and responsible online environment.
