The Indian government announced new regulations for social media platforms and digital news outlets. These new rules aim to hold these platforms more accountable for the content shared on their platforms and ensure transparency. Social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp will now have to appoint grievance officers who will address user complaints within a specific time frame. The new guidelines also require these platforms to remove certain types of content, including nudity and misinformation, within 24 hours of being notified. Additionally, the government has mandated that social media companies assist law enforcement agencies in identifying the originators of messages that could harm national security or public order. Digital news outlets will also be subject to these regulations and will need to follow a code of ethics outlined by the government. Failure to comply with these rules could result in penalties and even the possibility of the platforms losing their legal protections. The Indian government believes that these regulations will help curb the spread of fake news and misinformation on social media platforms and ensure a safer online environment for users.
