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

Flow Network | Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm

Flow Network is a directed graph in which each edge has a capacity and each edge receives a flow. In this blog, we will discuss the following things: Introduction of: network, max-flow problem capacity, flow Ford-Fulkerson method pseudo code, residual networks, augmenting paths cuts of networks Introduction - Network We can understand Network by looking into some examples: liquids flowing in pipes, parts through assembly lines in a factory, the current through electrical network. Flow Network: Directed graph, G=(V, E) where V is set of vertices, E is set of Edges. Max-Flow problem Max-flow problem is about finding the feasible flow through a flow network and with maximum possible flow rate. Capacity( of an edge ) Capacity is the maximum limit of flow that edge can allow. If (u,v) ∉ E ⇒ c(u,v) = 0 Flow It is the amount that is currently flowing now in an edge. Flow in G=(V, E) : f: VxV -> R with 3 properties:
