Dr Narayan Lakshman and Professor Nalin Mehta

The Indian government recently announced a new set of rules to hold social media companies and OTT platforms accountable for content. While the government believes that these will prevent the "misuse and abuse" of these platforms, others feel that they are aimed at policing the Big Tech companies. To discuss various facets of these new guidelines, Dr Karthik Nachiappan, Research Fellow at ISAS spoke to Dr Narayan Lakshman, Associate Editor, the Hindu and Prof Nalin Mehta, Dean, School of Modern Media, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies; and Advisor, Global University Systems. The two experts are also Non-Resident Senior Fellows at ISAS.
