Under newly introduced regulations, the Indian government has significantly reduced the timeframe for social media platforms to remove illegal content, cutting the previous 36-hour window to just three hours. While this directive is set to take effect on February 20, experts have raised concerns regarding its practical feasibility. The government has yet to provide a specific justification for this policy shift. Furthermore, the updated regulations now mandate that any content generated using Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be clearly labeled to ensure transparency. This move reflects India’s ongoing and stringent efforts to regulate online content.
