According to the statement, “The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has issued an advisory to all intermediary companies to ensure compliance with existing IT regulations.”
The advice is a result of discussions held by Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar with moderators. These notifications are particularly related to the growing concerns regarding the spread of false information with the help of AI and deepfakes.
The ministry in its advisory said that under the IT rules, users should be given clear and accurate information about the content that is not allowed. This should also be clearly explained to the user when he registers for the first time.
According to the advisory, digital platforms should ensure that users are informed about penal provisions such as the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the IT Act, 2000.
