New government rules: Social media must remove explicit content within 2 hours
The central government has issued a new directive requiring social media companies to delete sensitive posts, such as those featuring nudity or impersonation, within a two-hour window, down from the previous 24-hour limit. Additionally, the timeframe for taking down illegal content has been cut to three hours, replacing the former 36-hour rule. Furthermore, platforms are now obligated to address user grievances within 36 hours, a significant reduction from the previous 72-hour requirement.
