The new measures include stricter checks before blocking orders, mandatory review committees, and enhanced transparency on removals, the ministry told Parliament. Owaisi had asked whether the government had reviewed implementation and sought aggregate data on removal, blocking orders, and account suspensions over the past year. The government did not release the full data Owaisi requested but said safeguards were now in place. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: Asaduddin Owaisi, content takedown, digital rights, freedom of speech, IT Rules, Parliament Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/centre-releases-new-content-takedown-safeguards-after-owaisi-query/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
