Worth mentioning, the Modi-led government had issued guidelines in February for all significant social media intermediaries, to appoint a resident grievance officer, a chief compliance officer, and a nodal contact person.
The deadline to accept the guidelines ended on May 25 and the new rules will come into force from May 26. None of the platforms including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter has complied with the regulations yet.
