The Rules could undermine the principles of open & accessible internet, the fundamental #RightToPrivacy & #FreeSpeech & expression enshrined in the Constitution.

What are the major due diligence requirements that have to be observed by an #intermediary ?
#Datacracy #ottguidelines #SocialMedia #ITRules
What happens if #Intermediaries do not comply?
If an intermediary fails to observe the rules, it shall not be entitled to the safe harbor protection under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
#SafeHarbour #BigTech #SocialMediaGuidelines #ITRules #OTTGuidelines
What is #SafeHarbor?
Governments across the world realised that intermediaries must be given protection from legal liability that could arise out of illegal content posted by users, considering the importance of these intermediaries in the online space.
#OTT #Intermediary
What about the Originator Requirement:
Rule 4(2) of the #ITRules 2021 is an amended version of the previous draft #IntermediaryGuidelines which was published in December, 2018.
#OTTGuidelines #SocialMediaGuidelines #tracking #privacy #privacyaware
Will traceability impact your #privacy?
The #traceability provision will undermine privacy and right to #FreeSpeech, and it will severely impact the sanctity of end-to-end #encrypted communications.
#Encryption #privacyaware
Fighting for our #DigitalRights has always been important, but never more than now.
Help @SFLCin defend your #DigitalFreedoms & ensure a safe, inclusive, & open #internet.

#LinkedIn #GenAI

LinkedIn and its affiliates are using your personal data to train their GenAI!

LinkedIn and its affiliates have been quietly using your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn to train its Generative AI (GenAI) models by a default opt-in consent setting.

This includes the content you create or interact with (such as posts and articles), your use of generative AI features (e.g., AI models used to create content), how often you use the platform, your language preferences, and any feedback you've provided to LinkedIn.

In a few simple steps, you can easily opt out of this setting.

An #TwitterX handle called @crazyashfan describes himself as a ‘photo &video manipulation artist’. But what he does is no art. He finds pornographic content & then using #AI manipulates them to show Indian actresses’ faces instead of original adult stars’

boomlive.in/amp/decode/x-i…
The X handle which has 39 posts include morphed AI-generated videos of #AliaBhatt , #KiaraAdvani , #Kajol , #DeepikaPadukone and many other #Bollywood actresses performing explicit sexual acts.
Just few days ago female students at high school in US found out male students made deepfakes of them using AI & shared it on group chats.While investigation is still ongoing what it proved is all it takes is a phone&an AI tool to generate deepfakes & it’s a dangerous territory
