What are the new social media rules called
Big digital companies like Google and Facebook have started updating their websites with the aim of making public information, including the appointment of complaints officers, according to India’s new social media rules.
Under the new rules, key social media mediators are required to appoint grievance redressal officers, nodal officers and chief operating officers. It is necessary for these officers that they should be posted in India and they should stay here. Those social media platforms come in the category of major social media mediators, whose number of users is more than 5 million.
