Remove videos of station stampede: Rlys notice to X

Hindustan Times  

The Railways ministry has directed X to remove 285 social media links containing videos of casualties from the February 15 New Delhi Railway Station stampede, marking one of its first major content enforcement actions since gaining direct takedown powers in December. The ministry, which cited “ethical norms” and the platform’s own content policy, sent the notice on February 17, asking for action to be taken in 36 hours, according to people aware of the matter. “This is not only against the ethical norms but also against the content policy of x.com itself as sharing of such video may create unwarranted law and order situation,” the ministry’s notice stated, adding that the content “may affect the operations of Indian Railways” given the “huge rush of trains” these days. The notice also cited Rule 3 of the Information Technology Rules, 2021, as per which on receiving “actual knowledge” – either in the form of a court order or notification by an “authorised agency” – the intermediary must remove illegal content within 36 hours.
