Invoking provisions of new Information Technology rules
No coercive steps shall be taken against members of the News Broadcasters Association by invoking provisions of the new Information Technology rules, the Kerala High Court has directed. The court issued the directive on Friday on a petition filed by the association challenging the Information Technology (Intermediary Guideline Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 which the association felt were excessive and gave powers to the government to curb freedom of speech and expression of the media. The court, while directing the Centre not to take steps against the broadcasters for not complying with the provisions of the rules, also issued notices to the Centre on the petition.More Related News
