Info sought on GAC orders on pleas against social media companies

Digital rights groups have called for the disclosure of the orders made by the government-appointed grievance appellate committees (GAC) where users are allowed to appeal content moderation decisions by social media intermediaries.

It has been more than a month and a half since GACs became operational and as per the official portal of the committees, they have received 42 appeals out of which 24 have been disposed of, as of press time Wednesday.
