Telecom Act will hold good for ‘many, many years’: IT Minister Vaishnaw
The Telecommunications Act, 2023, passed by Parliament, “is a set of real structural reforms which will hold us good for many, many years,” Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw told The Hindu in an interview. Excerpts: The Telecommunications Act, 2023 passed Parliament last winter session… The Act is a set of real structural reforms which will hold us good for many, many years. At this point, we’re working within the existing regulatory framework and the existing law, because the elections are just around the corner and social media platforms have given their full assurance that they will take all steps to detect deepfakes and remove them. We’re pushing them to be more proactive because today technologies that can detect deepfakes exist, and it is time that social media platforms took more steps.
