Prasad said that the auction was a success since the government could sell this much spectrum without any demand in the prime band of 700 MHz and with just three telcos in the fray. \"The government expected only about Rs 45,000 crore.

He said the government doesn’t want to look at content or seek decryption of messages, but only to trace the origin of a message that has caused serious criminal offences.

“Onus is now on them (social media platforms). Rules are out — everyone will have to follow,” Prasad said in an interview. “If people are suffering because of misuse, should they not have a forum for redressal? We are only asking them to have a good, robust grievance mechanism… The government is not interested in interfering. They are welcome to do business in India and earn profits from India, which they are doing with 130-crore plus users.”

The government notified new regulations governing the digital media industry to ensure greater compliance with local laws on February 25. It mandated social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to take down flagged posts within 36 hours of receiving a notice. Social media platforms that have over five million users will be required to appoint a chief compliance officer resident in India to ensure they abide by the rules, a nodal person of contact for 24x7 coordination with law enforcement agencies along with a “resident grievance officer.”

Prasad dismissed fears that the revised intermediary guidelines would provide a backdoor for India to become a surveillance state. “The guidelines are very clear,” he said.

‘4G auction a success’
<\/strong>
“Only in cases of messages which are a threat to law and order and ones which are liable to punishment of five years or more are we seeking traceability,” he said.

Prasad said the government welcomed criticism. \"We welcome dissent and criticism, including that of the PM and all the ministers. But two things are not okay—abuse and misuse of platforms,\" the minister said. \"This needs to be curbed.\"

The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021, under the Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, covers social media, digital media and over-the-top (OTT) platforms. Encrypted messaging apps, including WhatsApp,
Signal<\/a> and Telegram have been directed to trace the originator of contentious messages. They have to also introduce a mechanism for voluntary verification of the identity of users as a means to curb fake and anonymous posts on social media.

\"The traceability requirement is also very limited… I don’t want to decrypt or have content. I already have it… They have to find the mechanism to trace who began this thread,\" Prasad said. He was referring to the traceability clause that mandates messaging platforms to report to the government within 72 hours on the origin of messages that lead to offences that are serious in nature. \"That too will be done only after a court's order or in response to a request from a law enforcement agency,\" he said.

WhatsApp has been pushing back against the government’s traceability demand, maintaining that this will mean altering the architecture of its messaging platform. It doesn’t allow for traceability or finding the origin of a message without breaking end-to-end encryption, which it touts as a feature protecting the privacy of users.

Prasad said the government wants to quell abuse of social media.

\"MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) is full of complaints of morphed pictures of women on social media, social media being abused by terrorists,\" Prasad said. \"But we want least intervention by the government, through a soft-touch oversight mechanism. Intermediaries need to develop the mechanism, that is all.\"

In his first interview after the recent 4G auctions, Prasad called on operators to focus less on legal battles and more on providing quality services, given that the sector has now stabilised.

\"They have fought too many legal battles — that is their right. They have spent too much of their earnings on legal expenses — that too is their right,\" he said. \"But they must now address greater challenges and opportunities for India because of the stability that has arisen because of the judgments. We have already undertaken a series of reforms.\"

The government had offered airwaves worth Rs 4 lakh crore in the
4G spectrum auction<\/a> that lasted less than two days. The government has said the auction has been a success as it generated around Rs 78,000 crore against the Rs 45,000 crore it had estimated on the basis of renewals that telcos needed to continue providing telecom services.

Prasad said that the auction was a success since the government could sell this much spectrum without any demand in the prime band of 700 MHz and with just three telcos in the fray. \"The government expected only about Rs 45,000 crore. Then why did the operators purchase so much? That means there is a strong business case to buy the resource,\" he said, pointing to the surge in demand for data.

新德里:政府干涉的活动不感兴趣社交媒体平台但想要阻止他们的“滥用”和“滥用”通过“优柔寡断的监督机制,“电信和信息技术部长Ravi Shankar普拉萨德告诉等。

他说,政府不想看内容或寻求解密消息,但只有跟踪消息的来源,造成严重的刑事犯罪。

“现在责任(社交媒体平台)。规则是——每个人都必须遵守的,”普拉萨德在接受采访时表示。“如果人们因为滥用,他们应该没有修正的论坛吗?我们只是让他们有一个好的,健壮的申诉机制…政府干预不感兴趣。欢迎他们在印度做生意,赚的利润来自印度,他们与130卢比的+用户所做的。”

政府通知新的数字媒体行业的规定,以确保更大的2月25日,遵守当地的法律。它授权Facebook之类的社交媒体平台,Instagram和YouTube网站上标记文章在36小时内接收通知。社会媒体平台,有超过五百万的用户将被要求任命一位首席合规官居住在印度,以确保他们遵守规则,一个节点的人联系的24 x7配合执法机构以及“居民不满官。”

普拉萨德认为担心修改后的中介指南将提供一个后门印度成为监视状态。“非常明确的指导方针,”他说。

“只有在消息的情况下,法律和秩序是一个威胁,那些有可能惩罚我们寻求五年以上的可追溯性,”他说。

普拉萨德说,政府欢迎批评。“我们欢迎异见和批评,包括总理和部长。但是有两件事不okay-abuse和滥用的平台,”部长说。“这需要抑制。”

信息技术(中介指南代码)和数字媒体伦理规则2021,79条款下的信息技术法案,包括社交媒体,数字媒体和过多的(OTT)平台。加密消息传递应用程序,包括WhatsApp,信号和电报指示跟踪有争议的消息的发起者。他们还必须引入一个自愿机制验证用户的身份来遏制虚假和匿名帖子在社交媒体上。

“可追溯性的要求也是非常有限…我不想解密或内容。我已经有它…他们必须找到机制来跟踪这个线程开始,”普拉萨德说。他指的是可追溯性条款,授权信息平台向政府报告72小时内起源的消息导致犯罪,在本质上是认真的。”也将只有在法庭的命令或响应一个请求从执法机构,”他说。

WhatsApp一直抵制政府的可追溯性需求,维护,这将意味着改变其消息传递平台的体系结构。它不允许跟踪或发现不打破的端到端加密一条消息的起源,它吹捧特性保护用户的隐私。

普拉萨德说,政府想要平息滥用社交媒体。

“MeitY(电子和信息技术)充满抱怨的演变的女人的照片在社交媒体、社交媒体被恐怖分子滥用,”普拉萨德说。“但是我们希望至少由政府干预,通过一个优柔寡断的监督机制。中介需要开发的机制,这是所有。”

“他们已经打了太多的法律斗争——这是他们的权利。他们花费了他们太多的收益在法律费用——这是他们的权利,”他说。“但他们现在必须应对更大的挑战和机遇对印度因为出现了稳定的判断。我们已经采取了一系列的改革。”

政府曾提出电波4十万的卢比的价值4 g频谱拍卖持续了不到两天的时间。政府已经表示,拍卖是成功的,因为它产生大约78000卢比兑45000卢比已经估计的基础上续签,电信公司需要继续提供电信服务。
