Facebook, Instagram and other social media companies may have to delete data of these users
The government plans to introduce new regulations for social media companies like Facebook, X, and Instagram. These regulations may include the permanent deletion of personal data for users who have been away from their accounts for at least three years. The proposed rules are part of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and will be discussed among stakeholders. The regulations may also extend to ecommerce companies, online marketplaces, gaming intermediaries, and all social media intermediaries. Additionally, the draft rules suggest that certain healthcare and educational institutes will be allowed to use publicly available data for research purposes.
