Proposed changes to digital media regulation would facilitate abusive powers over users’ content – new Amnesty legal analysis
Abstract
Proposed amendments to India’s digital regulation rules would grant authorities wide-ranging powers to police, censor and remove users’ content, Amnesty International has warned in a new legal analysis of the proposals.  The amendments to India’s IT rules – which govern digital media content – are currently open for public consultation before they are debated in the country’s parliament.
