On February 25, the government formally notified the the ‘Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021’. The Rules have been framed under the Information Technology Act, 2000, by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY), which administers the Act.
These rules seek to regulate content in social media platforms (intermediaries) like Twitter and Facebook a consequence of the government feeling that unbridled content on these platforms is sometimes inimical to the country’s interests. These rules deal with a range of undesirable content, from pornography to spread of false information to content violative of IP laws to content that threatens the unity, integrity, security and sovereignty of India.
