Response to the Draft of The Information Technology [Intermediary Guidelines (Amendment) Rules] 2018: by Gurshabad Grover, Elonnai Hickok, Arindrajit Basu, Akriti — published Feb 07, 2019 — last modified Feb 07, 2019 08:06 AM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Internet Governance, Intermediary Liability
In this response, we aim to examine whether the draft rules meet tests of constitutionality and whether they are consistent with the parent Act. We also examine potential harms that may arise from the Rules as they are currently framed and make recommendations to the draft rules that we hope will help the Government meet its objectives while remaining situated within the constitutional ambit.

The lack of technical considerations in the proposal is also apparent since implementing the proposal is infeasible for certain intermediaries.
