New Delhi: Social media companies such as Facebook, Google, Whatsapp, Twitter, and YouTube will publish monthly transparency reports on their websites in India in accordance with new IT rules.
This will detail the actions taken by the company to remove the content that violates the law and listen to user complaints.
Google is the first out with its report on Wednesday and the Facebook group will announce its findings in two parts – the first on Friday, and the second in July 15.
In the transparency report, Google revealed that he had received 27,762 complaints from users in India for the past month, including 96% related to copyright.
The rest are related to trademarks, defamation, legal, false and evaluation.
Based on this, deleted 59,350 URLs, the amount is more than complaints received because one complaint can determine some items that have the potential to be related to the same or different content.
“We evaluate the content reported to us under our community norms, content policies, and / or legal policies.
Based on this review, the removal measures can be taken,” Google said.
FB Group said the report will contain proactively deleted content details.
This will be Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
“Some of the categories we report are adult nudity and sexual activity, intimidation and abuse among others,” he said.
