“India’s COVID-19 vaccination drive to include pregnant women and children soon, announces government”

The Indian government has recently announced new guidelines for social media platforms, digital news outlets, and OTT platforms in the country. The guidelines aim to regulate content on these platforms and hold them accountable for any unlawful or misleading information shared on their platforms. The guidelines require social media platforms to appoint a grievance officer to address user complaints and concerns in a timely manner. Digital news outlets are now required to follow the journalistic code of ethics and norms while adhering to the Press Council of India guidelines. OTT platforms are asked to classify their content into age-appropriate categories and implement parental locks for content deemed unsuitable for certain age groups. These guidelines come as a response to the increasing concerns regarding the spread of misinformation, fake news, and inappropriate content on digital platforms. It is expected that these regulations will help in creating a safer online environment for Indian users. The government has urged all platforms to comply with the guidelines to continue operating in the country. Failure to comply with the new regulations may result in penalties or even the suspension of operations in India. This move by the government is seen as a step towards ensuring responsible and accountable digital content dissemination in the country.
