#Twitter & #Facebook are not getting #banned but If these significant social media intermediaries don't comply with the #ITRules they could however lose the safe harbor protection which means they could incur liability (civil & criminal) for the acts done by third party users.
The Rules could also undermine the principles of open & accessible internet, the fundamental #RightToPrivacy & #FreeSpeech & expression enshrined in the Constitution.

The #informationtechnology Rules, 2021 (#ILRules) which have been prescribed by the #Centralgovt under Section 79 of the IT Act are a set of compliances which the intermediaries have to abide by, in order to keep the safe harbor protection intact.

I'm puzzled by this frenzy over a potential ban of social media platforms on account of non-compliance with latest Rules.
Significant social media intermediaries (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc...) had 3 months to comply with the rules. That period ends today.

The rules themselves say nothing about any BAN.
What they say is - if a social media platform doesn't comply with the Rules then it loses protection under Section 79 of the IT Act, 2000.

Simply put - Section 79 of the IT Act protects intermediaries from liability for third party information or data.
For instance - if someone fraudulently seeks donations via tweets, Twitter can't be held responsible unless it knowingly allowed the fraud.
