INDIA Team Latestly|

Citing instructions from the Supreme Court & the concerns raised in Parliament about social media abuse, the government on February 25 released guidelines that aim to regulate social media, digital news media & over-the-top (OTT) content providers. The government said that it wanted to create a level playing field in terms of rules to be followed by online news & media platforms vis-à-vis traditional media outlets.
