Draft amendments to India's Information Technology Rules are raising alarm among legal experts and civil society groups, who warn that proposed changes could enable sweeping government control over online speech and content removal.
Catch: The amendments are still in draft form and have not been enacted, meaning the actual legal impact remains speculative until the final rules are gazetted.
Flip side: Clearer content governance rules, if properly designed, could also protect users from disinformation and harmful content at scale, which remains a significant problem on Indian platforms.
