The information and broadcasting ministry issued two notices to digital publishers asking them to “furnish their details” under the new IT rules, despite two high court orders staying certain sub-rules of the IT rules.
This was revealed by the Internet Freedom Foundation through the contents of an RTI it had filed on January 3. The ministry admitted it had issued two notices on May 26 and September 9 last year, and that it had received responses from “over 2,000” publishers.
