NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump<\/a>’s executive order diluting the immunity enjoyed by social media companies<\/a> is unlikely to change India's stand on making firms such as Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> more responsible and accountable for content posted on their platforms. 印度政府已经完成修改的过程中,中介指导方针,这就需要平台来验证用户为了阻止匿名发帖和需要等公司WhatsApp跟踪非法上法庭命令消息的起源,在一系列措施销公司更大的责任。 新德里:美国总统唐纳德·特朗普行政命令稀释所享有的豁免权社交媒体公司不太可能改变印度的站在等公司推特和脸谱网更负责任的和负责的内容发布在他们的平台。
India has been facing a challenge of misinformation on a large scale and has had to deal with situations such as mob lynching due to unchecked hate speech<\/a> and fake news on social media. This has made New Delhi propose key policy<\/a> changes to legislations that put the onus of checking content largely on social media companies.
India and the United States, though, are reconsidering the immunity for different reasons, said Udbhav Tiwari, policy advisor with Mozilla.
“While India wants to compel platforms to carry out better content moderation and cooperate with law enforcement, the US seems to think that current content moderation practices are negatively impacting political neutrality and wants to rein in such practices,” Tiwari said.
Indian policymaking is unlikely to be immediately influenced since most large social media companies are based in the US and their product policies are made keeping in mind American laws, he said, although this policy change may have “far reaching ramifications globally” if it goes through.
There is also a key difference in US and Indian law on the kind of actions for which immunity is granted to social media platforms.
The US provides Good Samaritan protections under Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act by explicitly allowing intermediaries to restrict content on certain grounds.
On the other hand, India provides immunity to intermediaries under Section 79(2) of the IT Act, only on the condition that platforms do not modify content in any form. India does not provide any explicit Good Samaritan exceptions.
Industry experts expect Trump’s executive order to face widespread legal challenges.
The order, signed on Thursday, came after Twitter flagged Trump’s tweets with a fact check warning, alerting users to his claims about mail-in ballots.
“They’ve had unchecked power to censor, restrict, edit, shape, hide, alter virtually any form of communication between private citizens or large public audiences,” Trump said while signing the order. “There is no precedent in American history for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of human interaction.”
Twitter has been unrelenting in its approach though and called the order an attempt to unilaterally erode and threaten the future of online speech and internet freedom.
The Indian government has been in the process of finalising amendments to the IT Intermediary Guidelines, which will require platforms to verify their users in order to discourage anonymous posting and need companies like WhatsApp<\/a> to trace the origin of unlawful messages on court orders, among a host of measures to pin greater responsibility on companies for the content on their platforms.
Governments across the world are battling with the common problem of how to regulate social media, said a top government official.
“This episode highlights concerns of accountability and proliferation of fake news on social media platforms. Suitable legal regimes are evolving across the world and this seems to be one approach to it,” the official said.
Although companies are encouraged to fact check posts, the question of who runs those fact checks and who the fact checkers will be answerable to will be possible issues, he added. Once platforms start modifying or filtering content, challenges around why only one kind of content is flagged will also crop up, said the official.
Prasanto K Roy, a tech policy expert said that platforms rely on algorithms to moderate content, letting them screen millions of posts in real time, with human intervention only for escalations. It also allows a semblance of fairness and consistency, and plausible deniability. “The moment firms start blocking or restricting major handles, things can explode. Imagine the backlash in India if Twitter did to a Modi tweet what they did to Trump’s tweet?” he added. Twitter executives were summoned to the Parliamentary IT committee in February 2019 after a pro-government handle was blocked for abuse, and there was outrage when Jack Dorsey<\/a> didn’t personally attend, said Roy.
Even as the US wants no interference in the name of security of its citizens and free speech, India wants more monitoring in the name of security of its citizens, and this is a classic dilemma, a former top bureaucrat told ET.

特朗普的举动对社交媒体因为可能改变印度的立场
印度一直面临一个挑战大规模的错误信息,不得不处理情况,如由于无节制的暴徒私刑仇恨言论社交媒体虚假新闻。乐动扑克这使得新德里提出关键政策改变立法,将检查内容的责任很大程度上社交媒体公司。
不过,印度和美国正重新考虑免疫原因不同,政策顾问与Mozilla Udbhav女子说。
印度政策不太可能立即的影响,因为大多数大型社交媒体公司总部位于美国和他们的产品政策是由记住美国法律,他说,尽管这一政策改变可能有深远的影响在全球范围内“如果它穿过。
还有一个关键的区别在美国和印度法律的行为豁免权授予社会媒体平台。
美国230条款下提供好撒玛利亚人保护(c)的通信规范法通过显式地允许中介机构在某些方面限制内容。
另一方面,印度提供免疫力在第79节(2)中介机构的行为,前提是平台不能修改内容以任何形式。印度没有提供任何显式的好撒玛利亚人例外。
业内专家预计,特朗普的行政命令面对广泛的法律挑战。
周四签署的订单,之后Twitter标记特朗普的tweet事实检查警告,提醒用户关于邮寄选票。
“他们已经不受制衡的权力的审查、限制、编辑、形状、隐藏,改变任何形式的公民之间的通信或大型公共观众,“特朗普说,虽然签下订单。”在美国历史上是没有先例的很小的企业控制人机交互的范围如此之大。”
Twitter已经无情的方法,称为顺序企图单方面侵蚀并威胁网上言论自由和互联网自由的未来。
印度政府已经完成修改的过程中,中介指导方针,这就需要平台来验证用户为了阻止匿名发布,需要这样的公司WhatsApp跟踪非法上法庭命令消息的起源,在一系列措施销更大的责任为内容的平台公司。
世界各国政府正在与社交媒体如何监管的常见问题,一位政府高级官员说。
”这节课中突出问题的问责和扩散在社交媒体平台上假新闻。乐动扑克合适的法律制度演进的整个世界,这似乎是一种方法,”这位官员说。
虽然公司鼓励事实检查岗位,负责检查和那些问题事实调查者将负责将可能的问题,他补充道。一旦平台开始修改或过滤内容,挑战周围为什么只有一种内容标记也将出现,官方说。
Prasanto K罗伊,科技政策专家表示,平台依靠算法温和的内容,让他们屏幕实时数以百万计的帖子,只有升级与人工干预。它还允许表面上的公平和一致性,和貌似可信的推诿。“现在公司开始阻止或限制主要处理,事情会爆炸。想象印度的反弹如果Twitter对莫迪推特朗普的推他们做什么?”他补充道。Twitter高管被传唤到议会委员会2019年2月在亲政府的处理被滥用,有愤怒的时候Jack Dorsey不亲自参加,罗伊说。
尽管美国希望不干扰其公民安全的名义和言论自由,印度希望更多监控其公民安全的名义,这是一个经典难题,前高级官员告诉等。
