Way Forward for Social Media internal security issue

-
  • Patrol and Monitor the social media regularly – Special Cell for Social Media
  • Coordination with social media service providers – Response for removal of posts; Identity of users.
  • Protocols for information gathering – Privacy & Puttaswamy Case.
  • SOP to response to the grievance of social media posts (Reports & Flags).
  • In Germany, social networks could pay up to $60 million in fines if hate speech isn‘t removed within 24 hours.
  • Round the clock monitoring of social media.
  • National policy on social media must be developed – 3 tier mechanism & Code of conduct released.
  • A proper data protection law with an effective enforcement mechanism would ensure recognition for India as a trustworthy global destination for data-based businesses and privacy-conscious consumers while also protecting the Right to Privacy of the people in India.
  • Cyber law provisions need to be revised as the current approach of the Indian law is very narrow.
  • International agreements form an important node in a web of solutions needed to address security and the rule of law in cyberspace. Given India’s vision of a Digital India and considering the surge in cybercrime, it would be beneficial for India to join Budapest Convention (Cyber threats & Cyber Security), Strict enforcement of Christ Church Call of Action.
  • Experts have pointed to the importance of aspects such as following basic cyber hygiene and a periodic review of the security facets of one’s profile on various web platforms, especially on social media, where users tend to share personal information.
  • When there are no legitimate security or public interest reasons, users should have the right to have their data destroyed.
