Safe Harbour is not a certificate or a stamp that is issued by the government. It is an inherent protection available to #intermediaries.
#ITRules #TwitterIndia #SocialMedia
sflc.in/twitter-interm…
#Twitter has approximately 1.75 crore users in India. The Safe harbour protection is an inherent protection granted to intermediaries which is a defense it can take against imposition of liability for acts done by third parties.
Such a defense is taken at the time of ascertainment and quantification of liability which would be done before a court of law and not by the government.

#ITRules
@Twitter is an intermediary under Section 2(w) of the IT Act. This status cannot be taken away by the Government.
#ITrules2021 #TwitterIndia #SocialMedia
Intermediaries get a safe harbor protection under Section 79. This is conditional on them not modifying the content or initiating the transmission or selecting the receiver of the transmission.
It is also reliant on intermediaries discharging the due diligence requirements under the Act and under the Intermediary Guidelines Rules, 2021.
