(c) All three statements are correct
Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, empowers the Indian government to block information from public access under specific conditions.
The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, mandate social media platforms to remove content flagged as false by fact-checking units.
Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, of 2000 made it a punishable offence for any person to send offensive information using a computer or any other electronic device.
The provision also made it punishable for a person to send information that they believed to be false.
Section 66A had prescribed three years’ imprisonment if a social media message caused “annoyance” or was found “grossly offensive”.
Even sending emails for causing annoyance, inconvenience, or to deceive or mislead the recipient about the origin of the message was punishable under this section.
The court struck down the provision as unconstitutional and a violation of free speech in 2015 in the Shreya Singhal Case.
The section relating to restrictions on online speech was declared unconstitutional on grounds of violating the freedom of speech guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India.
It held that online intermediaries would only be obligated to take down content on receiving an order from a court or government authority.

(b) To exercise greater diligence in content moderation and promptly remove inappropriate content
Under the IT Rules (2021), the primary responsibility of social media intermediaries regarding content moderation is to actively remove or disable access to content that is unlawful or harmful, including taking reasonable efforts to prevent users from uploading such content, going beyond simply informing users about prohibited content; this includes promptly addressing complaints about explicit content and removing it within a specified timeframe.
