In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for social media platforms and OTT streaming services in the country. These guidelines aim to regulate digital content and curb the spread of fake news and misinformation. Under the new rules, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will be required to appoint grievance officers to address user complaints. Additionally, these platforms will have to remove objectionable content within 24 hours of receiving a complaint. OTT streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+Hotstar will also need to classify their content into different age categories and implement parental controls. The guidelines further mandate that these platforms set up mechanisms to resolve consumer complaints quickly. These regulations come as the Indian government seeks to bring accountability and transparency to the digital media landscape. The move has received mixed reactions, with some praising the government for taking steps to regulate digital content, while others express concerns about potential censorship. It remains to be seen how social media platforms and OTT streaming services will adapt to these new guidelines and ensure compliance while continuing to provide a seamless user experience.
