Government bring new strict guidelines for Social Media and OTT platforms

The government of India on Thursday bring new laws for regulating the Social Media platforms like Facebook and Twitter and OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. The government has said them to remove any content flagged by the authorities within 36 hours. They have to set up a complaint redressal mechanism with an officer being based in India.

These guidelines also said social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to identify the originator of a message that the government consider being anti-national and against the security and sovereignty of India.

This is the first time such rules are formed in the country within the jurisdiction for digital and social media platforms.

These rules have come after a spat between Government and Twitter over certain messages related to Farmers protest. The government had said to remove about 1500 account and messages but Twitter didn't want to do so. But, Twitter followed it after the warning of penal action.

IT minister has said many concerns have been raised about the abuse of social media platforms and the spread of fake news.

Ravishankar Prasad said

Social media companies are welcome to do business in India and empower Indians...We welcome criticism and dissent... but it is important that users of social media are given a proper forum for the resolution of their grievances in a time-bound manner

Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Minister Prakash Javadekar said

Digital media portals have no right to spread the rumour. The media's freedom is absolute but with reasonable restrictions. Content matter, especially media, OTT and digital media will be administered by the I&B ministry. Intermediary platforms monitoring will be done by the IT ministry in the manner they have been doing it

Setting up Cpp environment on VS Code | Windows 10

I have recently switched to Windows 10 from PopOs ( a Debian-based Linux) because of my project-related work which could not be done in any Debian-based Linux. So, I installed windows 10 on my system and it was just a little annoying but cool as well because my system's performance has increased (which was obvious as I have deleted all my previous data just backed up around 60Gb of it). So, starting with the process of setting up the environment for C++ on the VS Code on Windows 10. In Linux, I used to run C++ files on Sublime text only but on Windows, I'm just using VS code for both C++ and JavaScript. Let's start setting up the environment. I am dividing this whole process into 4 steps: First, you have to set up a compiler for the system. As we know that C/C++ is compiled programming language which requires a compiler to make them compiled and run. In Linux, there is already a gcc/g++ compiler preinstalled. But in Windows, you have to install it separately. So you can dow...

Cpp program to count digits in an integer

C++ program to count the number of digits in an integer: Suppose you have an integer, n = 1567. The number of digits in n is 4. Input: 1567 Output: 4 Input: 58694 Output: 5 Solution: To solve this problem, we can simply iterate to all these digits starting from the rightmost digit. We will update the number by dividing it by 10 until it becomes less than or equal to zero. Step 1: n=1567, count=0. n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 2: n=156, count=1. n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 3: n=15, count=2. n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 4: n=1, count=3. n = n/10; count = count+1; Step 5: n=0; count=3; Loop will end here. C++ implementation: #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std ; int main ()...
