India gives social media companies three hours to take down unlawful content, slashing timeline
NEW DELHI, Feb 10 (Reuters) - India's government said on Tuesday social media companies would have to take down unlawful content three hours after they are notified about it, tightening an earlier 36-hour timeline in what could be a compliance challenge for MetaMETA.O and X.
The changes amend India's 2021 IT rules, which have already been a flashpoint between Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and global technology companies.
