IT Ministry Says New IT Rules To Ensure A Safer & More Responsible Social Media Ecosystem

With Twitter India on Sunday hints towards complying completely with the IT rules by appointing Vinay Prakash as the resident grievance office, the IT & Communications minister Ashwini Vaishnav on Sunday said the new information technology rules will empower and protect the users at the same time.

Adding further, he said the new IT rules will ensure a safer and more responsible social media ecosystem in India.

The new rules which came into effect on May 25 mandate social media companies to establish a grievance redressal mechanism for resolving complaints from the users or victims.

“Reviewed the implementation and compliance of Information Technology Rules, 2021 along with my colleague Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar Ji. These guidelines are empowering and protecting users and will ensure a safer and more responsible social media ecosystem in India,” Vaishnav said in a post on Twitter’s Indian competitor Koo platform.

All significant social media companies, with over 50 lakh user bases shall appoint a grievance officer to deal with such complaints and share the name and contact details of such officers.

The big social media companies are mandated to appoint a chief compliance officer, a Nodal Contact Person, and a resident grievance officer. All of them should be a resident in India.

While Twitter has named its Resident Grievance Officer for India, Facebook-owned WhatsApp has challenged the new IT rules for social media intermediaries requiring the messaging app to trace chats and make provisions to identify the first originator of the information, saying they violate the right to privacy and are unconstitutional.

WhatsApp further alleged the requirement of intermediaries enabling the identification of the first originator of information in India upon government or court order puts end-to-end encryption and its benefits “at-risk”.

Some of the media houses have also challenged the new IT rules and the matter is sub-judice.

The campaign was initiated by Dr. Vivek Bindra, CEO, and founder of Edtech startup- Bada Business. He tweeted on February 5, 2021, urging the millions of Indians to join the campaign.

The celebrated industrialist Ratan Tata took to Twitter on Saturday to express his gratitude for the unconditional love and respect. But, he urged the users to discontinue the campaign #BharatRatnaforRatanTata.

On Saturday, he tweeted, “While I appreciate the sentiments expressed by a section of the social media in terms of an award, I would humbly like to request that such campaigns be discontinued. Instead, I consider myself fortunate to be an Indian and to try and contribute to India’s growth and prosperity.”

Born on December 28, 1937, Ratan Tata completed his studies at Cornell University, New York in 1962. Later on, he returned to India and worked at multiple Tata Group businesses. With his unmatched business sense, he climbed the corporate ladder to become the chairman of Tata Industries, and later in 1991, he became the Chairman of Tata Group.

Ratan Tata, who hardly makes public appearances or gives interviews is one of the most enigmatic personalities in corporate circles. A distinguished entrepreneur, a powerful business leader, and the most-loved philanthropist, Ratan Tata has always maintained a low profile.
Ratan Tata, the former chairman of Tata Sons is a synonym for the term philanthropy. He was also the chairman of Tata Group, from 1990 to 2012. He also served as the interim chairman from October 2016 to February 2017. Today, he continues to head the charitable Tata trusts.

Despite holding a powerful position in the business world, Ratan Tata has always been a humble figure and inspiration for millions, not just in India, but all across the world. Mr. Ratan Tata has been able to seamlessly combine the distinct businesses into the Tata group. He has made the Tata brand a global name.

Ratan Tata is passionate about what he believes in. Maintaining a perfect professional and personal life balance, he has always asked the young guns of today`s century to focus on both aspects of their lives.
Youngsters and aspiring entrepreneurs look up to Ratan Tata as an exemplary business leader who strongly believes in the Indian startup ecosystem. Till now he has invested in over two dozen startups.
Inspiring, isn`t it? If you too believe that this legendary figure deserves the coveted Bharat Ratna, join us in our campaign #BharatRatnaforRatanTata, #RequestByDrVivekBindra
