No immunity if platforms fail to remove child sex content?
The Indian government is considering revoking immunity for social media giants under the IT Act if they do not remove harmful content, such as child abuse material and misinformation. Minister of State for IT and Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, stated that platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Google could be held criminally liable for not complying with official notices. The government is particularly concerned about the platforms' refusal to take action against child abuse content. This move coincides with US states suing Meta platforms for their impact on youth mental health. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/Xed1jtg
