  • Government sent notice to X, YouTube and Telegram, child sexual exploitation content will have to be removed from the platform

    Government sent notice to X, YouTube and Telegram, child sexual exploitation content will have to be removed from the platform

    Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrashekhar said that action will be taken against those who do not comply with the rules.

    New Delhi:

    The government has issued notices to social media platforms ‘X’ (earlier Twitter), YouTube and Telegram to remove child sexual abuse material from their platforms in India. Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajiv Chandrashekhar said that if social media companies do not act swiftly, their ‘protection’ under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act will be withdrawn. This means that these platforms can be prosecuted under directly applicable laws and regulations. Even if they have not uploaded the content.

    The statement said, “The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has issued a notice to social media companies X, YouTube and Telegram. In this, they have been warned to remove Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) from their platforms on the Indian Internet. The notices given to these platforms emphasize the importance of removing any CSAM or disabling access to them with immediate effect.

    The ministry said that non-compliance with the notice will be considered as a violation of Rule 3(1)(b) and Rule 4(4) of the IT Rules, 2021. The ministry has warned the three social media intermediaries that any delay in complying with the notice will lead to withdrawal of the protection given to them under Section 79 of the IT Act, which currently protects them from legal liability.

    Rajeev Chandrashekhar, Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Electronics and IT, said, “The government is committed to creating a safe and reliable internet under the IT rules. The rules laid down under the IT Act place strict expectations on social media intermediaries to ensure that they maintain their “Criminal or harmful posts should not be allowed on the platform.”

    The Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 has provisions to ban obscene material, including child sexual abuse material. Under Sections 66E, 67, 67A and 67B of the IT Act, provisions have been made for strict penalties and fines for online broadcasting of obscene or indecent material.

  • Twitter fined Rs 50 lakh for not obeying central government’s order, know the whole matter

    The Karnataka High Court on Friday rejected Twitter’s petition against the central government’s order. The Center had asked Twitter to block some accounts, tweets and URLs, which the company did not agree to. The order was challenged in court. The court said that the company’s petition has no basis. While hearing the case, Justice Krishna S. Dixit’s single bench imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh on Twitter and directed to deposit the fine amount within 45 days. According to PTI report, Justice Dixit, while rejecting Twitter’s plea, said that he agreed with the Centre’s argument that the government has the power to block tweets and ban accounts. Between 10 different orders issued by the Central Government were challenged. Twitter had earlier claimed that the government had directed it to block 1474 Twitter accounts, 175 tweets, 256 URLs and one hashtag, but only the orders related to 39 URLs were challenged in the court. The court had reserved its decision in this case on April 21, which was pronounced today. Twitter had described the government orders as arbitrary and against freedom of expression. Despite knowing that there is a provision of 7 years imprisonment and fine for not following the Centre’s order, Twitter did not follow the orders. In its decision, the court told Twitter that you are a company worth billions of dollars, not a farmer or a common man who is not aware of the law. The Central Government Minister has also reacted to this decision. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrashekhar has said that Twitter’s decision to challenge the government notice in court to block some accounts was actually part of the ‘fictitious story’ put forward by the company’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

    All platforms hv to be in compliance with Indian law n @Twitter under @jack repeatedly refused to do so. In response to @GoI_MeitY ‘s notice for non-compliance they approached Karnataka High Court n judgment ✅Karnataka High Court has dismissed the petition filed by…— Rajeev Chandrasekhar (@Rajeev_GoI) June 30, 2023

    It is noteworthy that former Twitter CEO Dorsey had recently claimed that the Indian government had warned of shutting down the company in the country and raiding its employees if Twitter posts were not removed and Twitter accounts were not banned. Dorsey had claimed that the posts and accounts that were pressured to be removed were related to protests against agricultural laws and criticism of the government. The minister said that the court order makes it clear that all platforms should be banned in India. The law has to be followed.

Some experts are saying that since it is associated with Instagram, it will have an already built user base, which is going to be a big advantage for the app. At the same time, other experts say that Twitter app is news based, whereas Instagram is a visual content app, hence it is difficult for it to replace Twitter. According to NDTV, Meta Threads needs just a quarter of the users of Instagram to overtake Twitter’s user base.

  • Big blow to Twitter, Threads users cross 10 crores

    Microblogging site Twitter’s rival Threads has crossed the mark of 10 crore registered users in less than a week of its launch. In this app of Meta, which runs the social media site Facebook, users can also log in with the details of their Instagram account. It has been introduced as an alternative to services like Twitter. Last week, Threads had its international launch (except the European Union). The number of its users is continuously increasing. A major reason for this is Meta’s link with photo and video sharing service Instagram. Instagram has more than 2.35 billion monthly active users. Twitter is facing tough competition from Threads. Elon Musk, chief of American electric car maker Tesla, took over Twitter last year. Twitter has also accused Meta of stealing its trade secrets. Twitter has also warned of taking legal action against Meta. Semafor’s report quoted a letter sent by Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as saying, “Twitter intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights and demands that Meta’s use of Twitter’s trade secrets or other confidential information should be stopped immediately.” Due to Threads being associated with Instagram, it can take advantage of the already existing large number of users and advertising system. This may result in a reduction in Twitter’s advertising revenue. After Musk’s control over Twitter, some big companies had stopped advertising on Twitter. Musk had said that the decrease in advertisements has had a big impact on Twitter’s revenue. Apart from this, Musk had made major changes in the company. They laid off about half the staff. After this, some journalists had to face strong opposition after their Twitter accounts were banned. Regarding this, the European Union (EU) had warned of imposing restrictions on Twitter. However, Musk later withdrew this decision.

  • Threads made a unique record on the internet, more than 100 million subscribers in 5 days

    Since the advent of Instagram Threads, it has been in the news and almost everyone is talking about it. This app was launched at the beginning of this week and it is being talked about all over social media. This app has been brought as a competitive app of Twitter. Many people have signed up for this app in the first 48 hours. More than 100 million accounts have been created on this platform. Threads touched the figure of 100 million users in as little as 5 days. This platform seems to be growing faster than Chat GPT, Tik Tok and even Instagram. Twitter threatened to drag Meta to court. The rapid growth of the thread can be gauged from the number badges appearing on Instagram profiles. Its current user count has crossed 100 million and if the speed continues like this, Threads will give a tough competition to other apps in the coming hours. How big an achievement this is can be gauged from the fact that it took 2 months for Chat GPT to reach 100 million users, 9 months for TikTok, and 2.5 years for Instagram. One reason for Thread growing so fast is its integration with Instagram. Seeing the great response and growth the thread is getting, Twitter has written a letter threatening to drag Meta to court. According to this letter, Meta has hired employees fired by Twitter who had access to Meta’s sensitive data. Looking at this, it can be said that there is a strong competition going on between both the social media giants. Such growth of threads in just 48 hours shows the strength of Instagram’s user base. With the ability to reach 100 million user base much faster than its predecessors, this app has made itself a big competitor in the messaging app category.
