The government is possible to bring out a standard operating procedure on the new Information Technology Rules. And the Centre will consult with the industry and stakeholders, as well as address their concerns and problems about the new rules.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will also release a set of “frequently asked questions” (FAQs) to simplify the requirements in the rules, as mentioned in a report. An official told the daily that the FAQs will be in a very simple format, explaining the IT rules, but the SOPs might take longer due to the consultations with various stakeholders.
Aprameya Radhakrishna, co-founder and CEO of microblogging platform Koo told the daily that they haven’t found it difficult to follow the guidelines. He said that all the guidelines are user-centric and they haven’t had any problems so far. Radhakrishna said that there is still scope to engage with the authorities and weed out some grey areas.
