New Delhi: The IT ministry will likely post FAQs regarding the new intermediary rules within the next 1-2 weeks, a source said.

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) would address various aspects of the new rules, including measures, how the standards would benefit users of social media platforms, and any other clarifications stakeholders might have.

The FAQs are currently under development and are expected to be published within 1 to 2 weeks, the source told the Informatics Ministry, adding that the set of FAQs would answer 10 to 20 questions.

New IT rules for social media companies, which took effect last month, require big platforms like Facebook and Twitter to undertake more due diligence and make those digital platforms more accountable for the content they host.

Under the rules, major social media intermediaries – those with more than 50 lakhs of users – are required to appoint a grievance manager, a nodal manager, and a compliance officer. These personnel must be resident in India. Additionally, social media companies are required to remove flagged content within 36 hours and remove flagged content within 24 hours for issues such as nudity and pornography.

Earlier this month, the government gave Twitter one last chance to comply with the new rules and issued a stern warning that failure to meet the standards would result in the platform’s loss of the disclaimer. under the Data Protection Act.

Twitter recently lost its shield as a ‘security gate’ in India for disregarding IT rules and inability to name key personnel mandated under the new guidelines, despite repeated reminders, and the platform is now responsible for users. posting any illegal content.

The IT ministry questioned Twitter for failing to provide information about the compliance officer as required by the rules. In addition, the resident grievance officer and the nodal contact person appointed by the company is not an employee of Twitter Inc in India, as the rules require, the ministry previously reported.
