Indian media challenges gov’t over tougher IT rules
Sun, 18 July 2021
A battle is unfolding in the Indian courts between the government and media houses over new information technology (IT) rules that many in the Indian media have called intrusive and violating the Constitution’s right to freedom of speech and expression.
The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, which were released by the government in February, introduces a three-tier system for redress of a grievance for any news organisation with a digital presence.
What has worried media organisations, both big and small, is that the third level of the system is an oversight mechanism involving the federal government which gives authorities the power to take down content.
