Government Panel On Social Media Firms

IT rules had been strengthened in October to pave the way for formation of the Centre-appointed panels to settle user grievances

Centre's proposal to set up a grievance panel that will have the power to override decisions of social media companies and other internet firms is aimed at addressing some infirmities and gaps arising out of big tech companies, a statement said.

The government is weighing on setting up an appeals panel with the power to reverse the content moderation decisions of social media firms, the information technology ministry said. It will be the first such move of its kind worldwide.
