India is receiving backlash against its new social media law, which requires information about the government to be 'fact checked' by the government itself.
"Social media intermediaries will have the option to follow or disregard fact checking finding. If they choose to disregard fact checking, the only consequence is that the concerned department can pursue legal remedy against the social media intermediary."
"These rules don’t deal with all the nuances and sophistication of games of chance and games of skills. We are bypassing that by laying out a basic principle that the moment an online game trespasses into involving betting and wagering, regardless of its core content, then it falls afoul of these rules," says Chandrasekhar.
Meanwhile, Twitter has come under fire for what's being seen as an over-capitulation to the new rules by taking down a tweet globally, rather than locally, in an apparent first.
