The Indian government recently announced new guidelines for social media platforms and digital news outlets in the country. These guidelines aim to regulate content on these platforms and hold them accountable for the spread of misinformation and fake news. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp will now have to disclose the origin of any “mischievous” message or content if asked by the authorities. The guidelines also require these platforms to appoint a grievance officer who will address user complaints within a specific timeframe. Digital news outlets will now have to follow a strict code of ethics and ensure that their content is unbiased and factually accurate. Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in legal action against the platforms and outlets. These new regulations come in the wake of increasing concerns about the spread of fake news and hate speech on social media platforms in India. The government has been taking steps to curb the spread of misinformation and maintain law and order in the country. With these new guidelines in place, social media platforms and digital news outlets will have to be more vigilant about the content they host and ensure that it complies with the regulations set by the government.
