The Indian government is preparing to take a major and decisive step to curb the rapidly spreading obscenity through social media platforms. The government may soon make significant changes to the ethics code for social media users, aiming to ensure legal action against the glorification of obscenity.

The Supreme Court had made the suggestion, and now the government will take action.
The government has informed the Supreme Court about this matter. This issue arose during a case involving popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia. The Supreme Court had suggested the government enact stricter laws to regulate content on digital platforms.

The government will take action if this action is taken.
Laws related to digital content, such as Section 67 of the IT Act, primarily apply only to TV and digital streaming platforms, but now the government is preparing to expand its scope. After the scope is expanded, the law will also apply to social media users. If anyone is caught spreading obscenity on social media, the government can take action against them. Several changes will be made to the Digital Media Code of Ethics.

Stricter rules: The ethical code for social media users will be tightened. The new rules will mean that people will think twice before sharing anything on social media.

Criminal category: If anyone depicts a woman or any other person in an indecent manner or deliberately attempts to exaggerate obscenity on social media, it will be considered a serious offense.

Direct action: New rules will be enacted under Section 67 of the IT Act, and strict action will be taken against users.
