Amid speculations that social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter will be banned in India for their non-compliance to the Centre's new guidelines under the Information Technology Act, which was notified on February 25, the companies on Tuesday responded and said that they were working on implementing the new rules.

Why speculations of ban from May 26?

The new rules were notified on February 25 and the social media platforms were given three months' time to implement them, which ended on May 25. There has been no extension of this deadline. According to the guidelines, if the companies fail to comply with the rules, they would lose their intermediary status and may face action.

What are the new rules?

As these social media giants are not headquartered in India, they will have to appoint a chief compliance officer, nodal contact person, and resident grievance officer.

These platforms will have to remove any content flagged by the authorities within 36 hours.

An officer based out in India will oversee a robust complaint redressal mechanism.
