Facebook to comply with provisions of the IT rules The govt had announced the new intermediary guidelines in February, giving social media firms three months to comply with them; the deadline ended on Tuesday
Hours before the new government rules to regulate online content come into force, social media giant Facebook said it would comply with the provisions.
“We aim to comply with the provisions of the IT rules and continue to discuss a few of the issues which need more engagement with the government,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
Facebook, however, did not give any date for compliance. “We are working to implement operational processes and improve efficiencies. Facebook remains committed to people’s ability to freely and safely express themselves on our platform.”
