The Indian government has recently announced new guidelines for social media platforms and digital news outlets in India. The new rules require social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp to appoint a grievance officer in India to address user complaints. These companies will also have to remove objectionable content within 36 hours of receiving a legal order. Additionally, the guidelines mandate that social media platforms must disclose the originator of a message if required by authorities. Digital news outlets are also required to follow a code of ethics and conduct, and they must appoint a grievance officer to handle user complaints. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the loss of intermediary status, which could make these platforms liable for criminal action in case of offending content. These new rules aim to regulate social media and digital news platforms in India more effectively and ensure accountability for the content shared on these platforms. The government believes that these guidelines will help in curbing the spread of fake news, hate speech, and misinformation online. The implementation of these regulations marks a significant step towards creating a safer and more responsible online environment in India.
