Tag: New It Rules

The social media company's website no longer displays his name, as required under Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021.

All mainstream media, including print and electronic, will have to comply the provisions of IT Rules, 2021 with immediate effect without exemption as the government has refused to exempt them from the ambit of the new digital media rules.

On February 25, the government had announced new IT rules for large social media firms such as Twitter, Facebook and others, asking them to comply with the new regulations. The new IT rules include, appointment of resident grievance officer, plus it has asked major social media intermediaries (with over 50 lakh users) to have a physical contact address in India, monitoring of objectionable content, and monthly compliance report.
