5:32 pm
to talk about social and political issues over the years he has built up a team and a strong presence on all social media platforms. as he says the digital landscape has given independent voices like his own a free space to express themselves on a wide range of issues. but now he's along. the indian government recently announced a new set of information technology tools it can now more strictly regulate social media content digital music and streaming giants such as netflix these platforms are expected to regulate themselves more and also set up a system to address complaints about their content business the government says it wants to prevent what it calls the misuse of these platforms i completely agree that news can be misused it could create 2 law and order problems and there should be a set of guidelines for people who are doing news and social media completely understand
5:33 pm
that but why what the wording is left convoluted why is it that it has been left open ended that anybody who is a commentator who makes a video on published information also is liable to these rules and regulations so it is about controlling the narrative of what people are talking about. a digital rights activists and news editor says these concerns he says existing laws already apply to the digital space and that the government is just trying to crack down on content it doesn't like the most important aspect of these revelations is the imposition of a particular section in the indian information technology gap with allows the government of india who orders to censor content so they can block certain content or news and going to present you peace with they did not have the power to do before these rules came about. but there are others who have come these rules when she capitalists mundus by says these regulations are the need of the hour to break
5:34 pm
what he calls didn't mean of digital giants and to protect users if you look at shorts you'll need your to be there are all for one of the least if you look at data used media many of them have the i don't. they publish if imagery article published big net it exists and they are that efficient media are subject to government control and rules are not ban and you believe these rules get the government disproportionate palace and that now the digital space you create is like him it's sinking with you even when it comes to content like the dive satire the ease all about putting the facts maybe robbing people a little the wrong we but unfortunately in india. and satire is taken personally so i don't know we see ourselves drumming down our content we see ourselves fighting cases and quartz or we see ourselves spending some time in jail but that's where
5:35 pm
we're headed in all your identity says he will not stop meeting his show but he knows that he could windings you more or be in the line of fire for this content to get. for more on this i'm joined from germany by thumb my saying he's a lawyer for the nonprofit internet freedom foundation that advocates online freedom in india from the government saying is that these new laws are required to fired at the spread of fake news for example or event one or graffiti on the internet i mean that's also a reasonable argument doesn't it. crile 1st of all thank you for having me i'm your right there is a reasonable argument stated objective or decided to use and non dimensional on c.n.n. of these things that's absolutely both you said and that's feasible and be agreed with the intentions. but we can start to deduce far beyond that and they also end up in a thing and it is. a lot to do with this act on which are not necessarily but it
5:36 pm
was there i said you know it's all events but i would see like next time. we'll speak about that in a minute but then i'd like to focus on the 1st part or for the companies where this does apply for example social media company and i know it's a huge market for sort of media giant such as facebook and twitter for example how do these new rules impact social media users of say facebook going into. so these do this they get they don't mean a much greater level of control or social media changing it is like instagram even what's up now the government exercise for. if the government white was already showing they don't want others even more than was available to the government that's all and in the event these intimate it is not complying with the government's orders they would be a danger. in joining the community such as what's. be libel them said
5:37 pm
for the on going that's all stored on these websites now that somebody's got in development because we expect and be concerned that this will cause. an chilling effect on fundamental rights to speech and expression and the access to information the citizens of india but shouldn't the source media companies beautiful and simple somebody has to be held accountable for any harmful content that does come onto these platforms from that. so i absolutely believe that i think there absolutely it is necessary to own bad use and a lot of things but i think there are there balance needs to be struck between. psalms of expression and protecting legitimate forms of expression and speech and been concerned that these rules do not simply and the current form strike their balance. perhaps some of the concerns for me or to keep that from the center having
5:38 pm
so-called over the top platforms but forms that offer entertainment such as imus on netflix or online news portal for example. yes absolutely but going to be decided are insulating to the constitutionality of all of these rules and the management of these. costs. by the government. and even focus for the moment just on the content of that was done sets. in the 2nd half of disgust at a collation really dark songs and the streams are what these rules have been essentially is that they've created so you know all the statement kind is over the content that is all stern wanted you columns and nor does it mean it was media platforms but the 1st is the stock funds themselves public events are just kind of and in the 2nd you know what it just seemed as a self-regulated to make an ism. these entities would get together and they would
5:39 pm
almost if they could lay people already from amongst themselves own the government exercises a great amount of control over the 2nd because the government is a didn't find an approval over the appointments they got in the sense regulatory body and in the 3rd year it's the government it sets that code it is an oversight mcgann isn't committee which comprises offices of status ministries of the central government and is headed by the secretary of the ministry of information and broadcasting no wants this so you know the kind is in there not just it does is that it regains. approval and final say over board sort of content can be on it cannot be hosted by getting dark films such as netflix and buy or digital news media sites. bits which we think is very dangerous i'm wrestling ring even there from the time of thank you so much for joining us from tony thanks and i spank you for having me. top
