Govt moves to regulate digital content, new rules for OTT platfoms and social media| Oneindia News

The central government has finalised the rules to regulate internet-based businesses and organisations, social media companies, OTT streaming services, and digital news outlets, as it plans to introduce a change in legislation to assert more control over powerful Big Tech firms. Under the new Information Technology Rules, 2021, the government plans to mandate social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to erase contentious content as early as possible, but not later than 36 hours, after a government or legal order.
