Summary: Social media is acutely prone to misuse—thanks to its independent and undisciplined nature—necessitating regulation. Social Media in India: Regulatory Needs, Issues and Challenges addresses this concern, analysing critical sociopolitical issues related to social media regulation and discussing the latest developments in India. The book reviews the values of freedom of expression, privacy and regulation and proposes strategies to balance the triad, aiding policy formation. It covers several aspects that need to be examined for the overhaul of the regulatory framework, including addiction, awareness, rampant misinformation, political applications and conflicts. Highlighting such social and user-centric challenges to the sustainability of these online social networks, the book argues for the need for a robust regulatory framework and advocates an attitude adjustment about privacy and social media in the age of disinformation.
