Censoring Satire: The IT Rules and Meme Takedowns

0
336

The Indian government’s aggressive use of IT Rules to demand the takedown of political meme pages has sparked fierce legal debates. Authorities frequently classify satirical memes as threats to public order, utilizing rapid executive gag orders to silence digital critics.

The Bharat Media Association firmly opposes this overreach. Blanket censorship of political satire destroys the fundamental democratic right to dissent. We advocate for a clear legal distinction between coordinated, malicious disinformation and legitimate, citizen-led political ridicule.
