He was speaking at the second 'pre-draft' consultation and was hosted by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. The first such consultation was held in Bengaluru on March 9. The minister reiterated, as he had in Bengaluru, that it is the responsibility of the platforms (social media intermediaries) to do their due diligence, and that he is genuinely considering \"doing away with safe harbour\".
Section 79 of the IT Act 2000, states that \"an intermediary shall not be liable for any third-party information, data, or communication link made available or hosted by him\". This protects social media intermediaries like Facebook, Twitter and others from any legal liability for content on their platforms.
\"Most platforms are anonymous so the perpetrator is untraceable but the government draws flak for free speech-related issues,\" he said. Chandrasekhar said that the platforms are immune from prosecution under Section 79.
Those who're actually conducting the illegalities are untraceable because they're anonymous, he said. And the onus then becomes on the government to protect the citizen who has been aggrieved by this content or misinformation that is on the platform, he explained.
\"I want to propose to you that we're actively thinking through in the DIA (Digital India Act<\/a>) that we do away with the section 79 safe harbour completely. I'd say that it is the responsibility of the platforms that host the content to do whatever they can on misinformation, on toxic content, illegal content, So I leave this as a thought to you. This is certainly something that we are thinking of. The safe harbour, the immunity blanket, should be conditional,\" he said.
If the platform does not do due diligence, and the platform does not demonstrate that it is acting in certain categories of clearly defined content like child sexual abuse material (CSAM<\/a>), patent infringement, content, misinformation, and religious incitement content, then they will not be eligible for the section 79 protection, he said.
\"So, we have moved from immunity to conditional immunity. Do we need any immunity for any platform at all? I'm not saying I've decided, but certainly worth having a conversation,' he said.
Speaking about his visit to Belgium for the first India-EU Trade Technology Council meeting, he said, Margrethe Vestager<\/a>, European Commissioner for Competition, and Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for Internal Market, are clear that they are looking at regulation through the prism of user harm.
He further explained, \"I think that the model of the government being in between the user and the intermediary can be replaced by the government playing the arbiter but not having the government being in the middle waving the safe harbour flag. If the platform can't be the arbiter of what's right or wrong, then you go to court. You can't keep claiming Section 79 protection. There is a built-in incentive for someone to be harmed but to never have that matter adjudicated.\"
The DIA will classify newer types of intermediaries on the basis of risk, and size, he said. Asked how the government will proceed in classifying intermediaries as it is quite broad now, he said, \"We will work out different thresholds for different kinds of intermediaries.\"
The minister also said that the DIA will account for sector-specific regulation apart from the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill (DPDP) accounting for it. \"Just like with the DPDP Bill where a sectoral regulator can go beyond DPDP Bill, DIA will also allow that. But DIA seeks to harmonise across sectors,\" he said.
On emerging technologies such as Web3, Chandrasekhar said, \"Web3 is a big area for startups and we want to lead the charge but with guard rails. We are very clear that we will not ban any new technology. We will have a conversation about Web3 in June.\"
He also said that the government is going to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), and that an entire chapter in the DIA will be dedicated to AI and emerging technologies. \"But it will be done through the prism of user harm, and there will be no separate legislation to regulate AI,\" he said. The homegrown version of ChatGPT that the government is coming up with will also be regulated in the same way, he said.
Asked if the DIA will have provisions for equitable distribution of revenue, the minister said, \"We have to address the asymmetry of content monetisation that is monopolised by big platforms. We will have principles. We won't go the Australia way. Enforcement is not the theme of this law. The focus is on rights and obligations.\"
The minister was accompanied by Sandip Chatterjee, group coordinator of the cyber laws division at MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology<\/a>).

他是在第二预拉伸的咨询和高级计算中心主办的发展。第一次咨询3月9日在班加罗尔举行。部长重申,他在班加罗尔,它是平台的责任(社交媒体中介机构)进行尽职调查,,,他是真正考虑“做了安全港”。
Section 79法案2000年,州“中间层不得承担任何第三方信息,数据,或通信链路提供或由他主持”。这保护社会媒体中介像Facebook、Twitter和其他任何法律责任为内容的平台。
“大多数平台是匿名犯罪者是难以捉摸的,但政府免费吸引了批评言语问题,”他说。钱德拉塞卡表示,平台是79条款下免于起诉。
那些正在进行的违法行为是难以发现的,因为他们是匿名的,他说。和责任就变成了政府保护公民已经被这个内容愤愤不平的或错误的信息平台,他解释说。
“我想向你求婚,我们积极思考DIA (数字印度法案),我们的79条款完全安全港。我想说这是平台主机的责任内容做任何他们可以在错误信息,不良内容,非法内容,所以我离开这个作为一个认为你。这当然是我们思考的东西。安全港,免疫力毯子,应该是有条件的,”他说。
如果这个平台不做尽职调查,平台不证明它是作用在某些类别的儿童性虐待等明确的内容材料(CSAM)、专利侵权内容,错误,和宗教煽动内容,然后他们就不是合格的79条款的保护,他说。
“所以,我们已经从免疫条件免疫力。我们需要任何豁免权平台吗?我不是说我已经决定,但肯定值得拥有一个谈话,”他说。
谈到访问比利时第一India-EU贸易技术委员会会议上,他说,Margrethe Vestager欧盟竞争委员会委员,蒂埃里布列塔尼人,欧洲内部市场专员,很明显,他们看着监管通过用户的视角伤害。
他进一步解释说,“我认为政府的模型在用户和中介之间可以取代政府扮演着仲裁者但没有政府在中间挥舞着国旗避风港。如果平台不能仲裁者的对或错,然后你去法院。你不能保持声称79条款的保护。有一个内置的激励别人受到伤害,但从来没有裁决。”
DIA将分类新类型的中介机构风险的基础上,和尺寸,他说。要求政府将如何进行分类中介现在是相当广泛的,他说,“我们将制定不同的阈值不同的中介。”
部长还表示,印度将占行业监管除了数字个人数据保护法案(DPDP)会计。“就像DPDP法案,行业监管机构可以超越DPDP法案,印度也将允许。但印度寻求跨部门协调,”他说。
Web3等新兴技术,钱德拉塞卡说:“Web3初创公司是一个很大的区域,我们要带头但栏杆。我们很清楚,我们不会禁止任何新技术。我们将有一个讨论Web3 6月。”
他还说,政府将控制人工智能(AI),这整个一章DIA将致力于人工智能和新兴技术。“但它将通过用户危害的棱镜,并没有单独立法规范AI,”他说。的国产版本ChatGPT政府提出监管也会以同样的方式,他说。
问DIA将规定收入公平分配,部长说:“我们必须解决内容货币化的不对称所垄断的大平台。我们会有原则。我们不会去澳大利亚。执行不是主题。重点是权利和义务。”
部长伴随着Sandip Chatterjee集团协调员网络法律部门MeitY (电子和信息技术)。
