Indian government urges social media platforms to enforce IT Rules, 2021, to tackle deepfakes and misinformation.
The Indian government is urging social media platforms and intermediaries to enforce IT Rules, 2021, to curb deepfakes, misinformation, and false information. Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Jitin Prasada, emphasized the need for "safe and trusted AI" and the government's responsibility to create guardrails for it. The IT Rules, 2021, place legal obligations on intermediaries to ensure their accountability towards a safe and trusted internet, and they lose their safe harbour protection if they fail to follow those responsibilities.
