The government on Thursday announced new information technology rules to curb the misuse of social media platforms. It mandated firms to appoint a grievance officer and disclose the first originator of the mischievous information and remove it within 36 hours. The rules said content depicting nudity or morphed pictures of women needed to be removed within 24 hours. The rules notified by the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, will affect players such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter, and will include OTT (over the top) platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, and Hotstar. The rules make a distinction between social media intermediaries and significant social media intermediaries that have a large number of users. The government will notify the threshold of the user base that will distinguish between the two.
