The Indian Army. has been granted the power to directly issue notices to social media intermediaries for the removal of unlawful content related to its operations. The Ministry of Defence of India has appointed the Additional Directorate General (ADG) of Strategic Communication as the "nodal officer" for this purpose, as per Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act. Previously, the Army relied on the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to take down illegal content, which often resulted in delays. Now, the ADG can swiftly highlight and issue takedown notices for misinformation, especially from hostile entities. This new protocol is expected to expedite responses to threats to national security and the Army’s reputation. While the exact number of takedown notices issued post-notification remains unclear, the initiative represents a significant shift in how the Army addresses harmful online content. Legal experts have noted concerns regarding the implications of Section 79(3)(b), which expands the authority for issuing such notices. #IndianArmy #OnlineContentRemoval #Cybersecurity #InformationTechnologyAct #SocialMedia #Misinformation #NationalSecurity #DigitalRights #ContentRegulation #DefenceMinistry #TechNews #MeitY #ADG
