Some rather interesting news has been brought to our notice – the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi has just released a new report on Online Intermediary liability in India, written by Chinmayi Arun and Sarvjeet Singh. This is a part of a global research project by the Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University examining the rapidly changing landscape of online intermediary liability, and aimed at informing and improving Internet policy-making globally.
The series of case studies for which the report has been written explores online intermediary liability frameworks and issues in India, Brazil, the European Union, South Korea, the United States, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam. The India case study maps and analyzes online intermediary liability in India by describing the landscape, highlighting intermediaries of special interest, such as platforms used to arrange marriages, mapping the online intermediary governance mechanisms, and assessing the impact of the governance framework.
CCG’s India case study may be downloaded from SSRN or read online on Publixphere. The full text of the other case studies in the series and the synthesis paper authored by Urs Gasser and Wolfgang Schulz based on these studies is available on the Publixphere website. The series and individual papers are also available for download from SSRN.
