The Indian government has 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 any unlawful or harmful content. As per the new rules, social media platforms must appoint a grievance officer to address user complaints and concerns. They are also required to remove content depicting nudity or morphed images within 24 hours of receiving a complaint. Additionally, these platforms must disclose the origin of any message deemed to be a security threat or affecting the sovereignty of India. Digital news outlets are also required to follow a code of ethics and conduct, and they must appoint a grievance redressal officer to address user complaints. These guidelines come as part of the government’s efforts to ensure a safer online environment for Indian users. The move has received mixed reactions, with some praising the government for taking steps to regulate digital content, while others expressing concerns about potential censorship. It remains to be seen how these guidelines will be implemented and the impact they will have on social media platforms and digital news outlets operating in India.
