The editorial
Source: The Pioneer News · 31 May 2021The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, are like a cat set among the pigeons. The Government says the rules have been enacted for effective oversight over social media platforms and to bring the digital media and streaming platforms under a strict regulatory net. The most important social media regulation rule in the last two decades has fuelled angry reactions not only from social media giants like WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, but also from the public. Those supporting the platforms say it is an attempt to force the companies to break their end-to-end encryption protocols for both receivers and originators. Some alarmists go to the extent of saying it heralds a surveillance State. Both are crying hoarse about the violation of the citizen’s freedom of expression and right to privacy. The protests are focused on one particular ingredient in the new rules, that is, the Government asking the intermediary platforms to make provisions for “identification of the first originator of the information”. The identification “is required only for the purposes of prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of an offence related to sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, or public order or of incitement to an offence relating to the above or in relation with rape, sexually explicit material or child sexual abuse material punishable with imprisonment of not less than five years,” a Government release says.
