According to an official tweet, at the #DigitalIndiaDialogues with industry stakeholders today, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State Electronics & Information Technology, reinforced that Indian #DigitalNagriks have the right to a safe and trusted internet, and intermediaries are accountable to users for providing the same.
The discussion is expected to cover issues such as how all platforms and intermediaries have agreed on the new regulations. The discussion is believed to include suggestions about new laws and rules. The current regulations might be able to allow users to deal with #deepfakes conclusively.
Furthermore, Rajeev Chandrasekhar also mentioned that platforms have agreed that within the next 7 days, they will ensure that all terms and contracts with users expressly forbid them from engaging in the 11 types of content laid out in the IT rules.
In conclusion, @GoI_MeitY has confirmed the imminent appointment of a “Rule 7 officer” and a digital platform for users to report violations of the law by intermediaries. This is in line with Rule 7, triggering the initiation of FIRs and the legal process in court, as per insights from an official tweet.
