&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Narendra Modi government has again fumbled with a hot potato in another attempt to regulate social media content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, the ministry of electronics &amp;amp; information technology (MeitY) published draft rules that proposed the formation of an appeals panel that could veto content takedown on social media platforms &amp;mdash; which would possibly make India the first country in the world to bring Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to heel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Mysteriously, the controversial draft amendment to the Information Technology (Intermediary Liability and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 &amp;mdash; simply called the IT Rules &amp;mdash; disappeared from the website as a storm started to brew over the highly contentious move.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For quite some time, the Modi government has been seeking to drape a fig leaf over its tyrannical attempts to control social media content by insisting that social media companies cannot throttle Indian users&amp;rsquo; constitutional rights to free speech based on their own opaque litmus tests to determine what is acceptable and what is not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The big beef this time is over the formation of an appeals panel to consider user complaints against the arbitrary takedown of their comments. The draft rules sought to empower the panel to reverse content moderation decisions of the social media firms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The intermediary shall respect the rights accorded to citizens under the Constitution,&amp;rdquo; the draft rules said in a newly added section.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Every order passed by the grievance appellate committee (on appeals) shall be complied with by the concerned intermediary,&amp;rdquo; the proposed amendment said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is still not clear why the rules are suddenly taken down&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Narendra Modi government has again fumbled with a hot potato in another attempt to regulate social media content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, the ministry of electronics &amp;amp; information technology (MeitY) published draft rules that proposed the formation of an appeals panel that could veto content takedown on social media platforms &amp;mdash; which would possibly make India the first country in the world to bring Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to heel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Mysteriously, the controversial draft amendment to the Information Technology (Intermediary Liability and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 &amp;mdash; simply called the IT Rules &amp;mdash; disappeared from the website as a storm started to brew over the highly contentious move.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For quite some time, the Modi government has been seeking to drape a fig leaf over its tyrannical attempts to control social media content by insisting that social media companies cannot throttle Indian users&amp;rsquo; constitutional rights to free speech based on their own opaque litmus tests to determine what is acceptable and what is not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The big beef this time is over the formation of an appeals panel to consider user complaints against the arbitrary takedown of their comments. The draft rules sought to empower the panel to reverse content moderation decisions of the social media firms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The intermediary shall respect the rights accorded to citizens under the Constitution,&amp;rdquo; the draft rules said in a newly added section.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Every order passed by the grievance appellate committee (on appeals) shall be complied with by the concerned intermediary,&amp;rdquo; the proposed amendment said.&lt;/p&gt;

Controversial draft amendment to IT disappears from website

-The Telegraph  It is still not clear why the rules are suddenly taken down New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government has again fumbled with a hot potato in another attempt to regulate social media content. On Wednesday, the ministry of electronics & information technology (MeitY) published draft rules that proposed the formation of an appeals panel that could veto content takedown on social media platforms — which would possibly make India the first country in the world to bring Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to heel. Mysteriously, the controversial draft amendment to the Information Technology (Intermediary Liability and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 — simply called the IT Rules — disappeared from the website as a storm started to brew over the highly contentious move. For quite some time, the Modi government has been seeking to drape a fig leaf over its tyrannical attempts to control social media content by insisting that social media companies cannot throttle Indian users’ constitutional rights to free speech based on their own opaque litmus tests to determine what is acceptable and what is not. The big beef this time is over the formation of an appeals panel to consider user complaints against the arbitrary takedown of their comments. The draft rules sought to empower the panel to reverse content moderation decisions of the social media firms. “The intermediary shall respect the rights accorded to citizens under the Constitution,” the draft rules said in a newly added section. “Every order passed by the grievance appellate committee (on appeals) shall be complied with by the concerned intermediary,” the proposed amendment said.
