AI Impact Summit Day 2: India tells big tech to respect constitution amid tougher content rules
Vaishnaw says YouTube, Meta, X and Netflix must follow Indian law
NEW DELHI: India’s information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has warned global technology platforms that they must operate within the country’s constitutional framework, days after New Delhi tightened rules on content takedowns.
Speaking on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on Tuesday, Vaishnaw said multinational platforms needed to be mindful of India’s cultural and legal context.
“It’s very important for multinationals to understand the cultural context of the country in which they are operating,” Vaishnaw told reporters.
Last week, India reduced the time allowed for social media companies to remove unlawful content to three hours from 36 hours after notification, raising compliance pressure on platforms including YouTube, Meta, X and Netflix.
Vaishnaw also called for much stronger regulation of deepfakes, saying the government had already begun discussions with the industry on the issue.
India’s move comes amid mounting global pressure on social media firms to police content more aggressively. Regulators from Europe to Latin America have pushed for faster takedowns and greater accountability for harmful and illegal material.
On Tuesday, Spain ordered prosecutors to investigate platforms including X, Meta and TikTok over allegations that AI-generated child sexual abuse material had circulated on their services, underscoring the growing regulatory focus on artificial intelligence-driven content.
