The central government has amended the Information Technology (IT) Rules, 2021, to stipulate that notices sent to social media and internet intermediaries can now be issued only by senior government officers of at least the rank of joint secretary or by police officers not below the rank of deputy inspector general (DIG).
Under the amendment, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) has said any intimation sent to social media and internet intermediaries under Rule 3(1)(d) will now clearly specify "the legal basis and statutory provisions" for the content being flagged. The amendment will come into effect on November 15.
