#SocialMedia platforms need Chief Compliance Officer resident in India, Nodal Contact Person and Resident Grievance Officer; should publish a monthly compliance report

#SocialMedia platforms need to disclose information on first originator, who began mischief, even if it originated outside India

@PMOIndia @rsprasad @OfficeOfRSP

#SocialMedia companies must have a provision for voluntary #verification mechanism of users

@PMOIndia @rsprasad @OfficeOfRSP

Window of 3 months to be given for significant #socialmedia companies, for others rules in force since they'll be notified

@PMOIndia @rsprasad @OfficeOfRSP

All media platforms must have the same justice system

@PMOIndia @PrakashJavdekar

Decided to have a 3-scaled mechanism for #OTT platforms
