India's New Guidelines Require Social Media to Address Grievances

India announced new rules to regulate social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, requiring them to set up fresh avenues to address complaints. In a press release from India's Ministry of Electronics and IT, the guidelines stipulate that social media companies must set up a "grievance redressal mechanism" and appoint a chief compliance officer, nodal contact person and resident grievance officer — all of whom will be tasked with making sure companies are adhering to the new rules.
