In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for social media platforms, digital media, and OTT platforms in India. The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 aim to regulate content on these platforms more effectively. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will now have to appoint a Chief Compliance Officer, a Nodal Contact Person, and a Resident Grievance Officer, all of whom must be residents of India. These platforms will also have to remove offending content within 36 hours of receiving a complaint. Furthermore, digital media companies and OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video will now have to classify their content into categories based on age suitability. The rules also require these platforms to set up a grievance redressal mechanism for receiving and resolving complaints from users. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the loss of intermediary status, which provides certain legal protections to these platforms. The new regulations have sparked a debate on freedom of speech and expression in the country, with some experts raising concerns about potential censorship. However, the government has stated that the guidelines are necessary to curb the spread of fake news, misinformation, and harmful content online. It remains to be seen how these new rules will impact the digital landscape in India and whether they will achieve their intended objectives.
