Frequently Asked Questions
What is intermediary liability under the IT Act?
Under Section 79 of the IT Act and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021, digital intermediaries (platforms, hosting providers, social media) receive safe harbour from liability for user-generated content if they comply with due diligence obligations, including appointing grievance officers, content moderation timelines, and cooperation with government orders. Non-compliance can expose platforms to civil and criminal liability.
