India Expands Ministries' Authority Over Takedowns
|
8.1
New Delhi — The government is considering authorising additional ministries, including Defence, External Affairs and Home Affairs, to issue social media takedown orders, government sources said on March 18, 2026. The move would augment the Ministry of Electronics and IT's current role under Section 69A and follows February rules tightening takedown timelines, mandating AI-content labelling, and shortening grievance windows.
Scoring Rationale
Policy expansion significantly raises enforcement scope and platform obligations; limited by reliance on government sources without formal announcement.
