India tightens grip on social media with new 3-hour takedown rule - World

India’s government has tightened its social media content regulations, requiring platforms to remove unlawful content within three hours of notification. The amended rules, effective February 20th, also relax the requirement for AI-generated content labeling. This latest move comes amid global pressure on social media companies to increase content moderation and control online speech. Meta, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, owned by Alphabet, have not yet commented on the changes.
