## Resource

A cartoon reposted. An account restricted. A takedown notice with no warning and no appeal. India's new IT rules give platforms three hours to remove flagged content — the shortest window anywhere in the world. But a draft amendment published last month could go even further, potentially treating anyone who posts about current affairs as a publisher. Without the protections that come with it. For millions of creators, anonymous users, and global tech platforms, the stakes just got harder to ignore. The deadline to push back is April 14th. Tune in. Find the IFF email template here .
