IT ministry notifies creation of Grievance Appellate Committee that will oversee content moderation decisions

Update at 7.47 pm, Oct 28: The IT ministry notified the amendments to the IT Rules 2021 on October 28. The headline to this report was changed to reflect that. No changes were made to the notified rules, so the text of this report remains the same.

The Indian government will have the ability to rule on the validity of content moderation decisions taken by all intermediaries, including social media platforms, once the IT ministry notifies amendments to its IT Rules 2021. Two IT ministry sources told Newslaundry the amended rules will be notified in the next few days.
