This means that all social media platforms will have to comply with new IT rules and regulations. So why were hashtags like Twitter ban, WhatsApp ban, Facebook ban, Instagram ban and other related hashtags trending in India on Tuesday, May 25? That’s because the new IT rules and guidelines go into effect as of today, May 26. Today is May 26, and Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and all other “major social media” platforms continue to work in India. So we suggest that you take any information that indicates that these big social media platforms will be banned/blocked in India with a pinch of salt as nothing of that sort will happen, at least in the short term. Twitter, however, has asked for another 6 months to implement the guideline.Will the big social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, among others, be banned in India? Well, that’s what various reports have claimed in the last few days, but unfortunately, these are all claims without a valid reason. Facebook has said that it is working closely with the government on the new guideline. The Koo App, created to challenge Twitter in India, has implemented the government’s new guideline.
Social media platforms will also have to give information about what was the reason for the removal of which content. In this report, companies will have to give information about complaints and their disposal. Not only this, under the new guidelines, social media platforms will have to issue a monthly report. This officer will have to settle the complaints received against the OTT content within 15 days. The central government issued a new guideline, ordering social media platforms to appoint a nodal officer, resident grievance officer in India. According to the information provided by the central government in February, Twitter has only 1.5 crore users in India. Twitter, however, is far behind WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram in terms of users. Instagram has around 21 crore users in India and is the fourth largest social media platform in the country. In the last few years, Instagram has become very popular in India. There are 41 crore users in the country who use Facebook. The number of users running YouTube in India is around 45 crores. In the case of users, YouTube is the second in India and Facebook is on the third case. There are only 15 million users on Twitter Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had informed that WhatsApp is the largest social media platform in India with around 54 crore users. If the Indian government bans companies that do not implement the guidelines, then the decision of the government may affect crores of users.Īt the time of the announcement of the new guidelines in February, the central government had given information about the users on big platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The last date for implementing the new deadline was 25 May. In February, the Government of India released a new social media-related guideline, giving companies three months’ time to implement it. After the end of the deadline of new social media related guidelines in India, there is a danger of getting banned on big platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram.
