Indian Govt Set New Guidelines For Twitter, Facebook And Instagram
Indian Government says social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram may face ban if they fail to comply with the new intermediary guidelines for social media platforms.
If these social media platforms fail to accept govt guidelines, they risk losing status as social media platforms and protections as intermediaries.
Government can also take action against them as per the law of the land for not following the rules.
The three-month deadline given by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MEITy) to accept these guidelines which ended on May 25 but none of the giants have so far accepted the new regulations.
Homegrown social media platform Koo, which is the Indian version of Twitter, is the only platform that has so far accepted the Centre’s intermediary guidelines.
