Indian IT Act & Intermediary Rules Compliance

Platforms We Clean, Enforce & De-Index:
Indian IT Act & Intermediary Rules Compliance
India's digital intermediary regulatory framework is among the most robust in the world. Under the IT Rules 2021, social media platforms lose their legal immunity if they fail to act on formal complaints.
For intimate privacy violations and non-consensual media, Rule 3(2)(b) mandates that platforms must remove content within 24 hours of receiving notice.
For other unlawful content, intermediaries must act within 72 hours. Our advocates serve formal notices directly to resident Grievance Officers.
- Direct legal notice service to platform-appointed Resident Grievance Officers
- Enforcement of statutory 24-hour mandatory deactivation for intimate imagery
- Invoking criminal penal sanctions under Sections 66E, 67, and 67A of the IT Act
- Escalation to the Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) for non-compliant platforms
Formal legal notices prepared under Rule 3 due-diligence requirements.
Filing appeals before the Ministry's Grievance Appellate Committee if platforms stall.
Why Manual User Reports Fail vs. How Our Legal Desk Succeeds
Public in-app "Report" buttons are processed by automated AI filters that reject nuanced legal claims. Our accredited team invokes enforceable statutory liability.
- Generic AI Form Filters: Flags are scanned by automated bot filters that issue standard "Does not violate guidelines" auto-rejection emails.
- Zero Direct Uploader Liability: Anonymous submitters hold no statutory authority to mandate server deletion or demand CDN logs.
- Cached Previews Remain Active: Even if a video is hidden, Google and Bing thumbnails remain indexed in web search result caches.
- Exposes Your Identity: In-app forms often transmit the complainant’s private name and email directly to bad-actor uploaders.
- Tier-1 Compliance Queue Access: Filings bypass customer support and route directly to verified Trust & Safety legal directors.
- Sworn Statutory Legal Notices: Prepared under 17 U.S.C. § 512, EU Digital Services Act, and IT Rules 2021 creating platform liability.
- Lumen & Search De-indexing: Verified removal demands to Google and Bing eliminate cached snippets, image previews, and video carousels.
- 100% Anonymity Under Agency NDA: Notices are served by our corporate legal firm. Your personal name, address, and contact details remain protected.

Pre-Action Evidence Protocol for Indian IT Act & Intermediary Rules Compliance
Preserving key metadata before contacting uploaders prevents evidence destruction and ensures rapid statutory enforcement.
- •Do NOT publicly comment on the video: Public confrontation signals distress and often drives uploaders to re-post mirror links across alternate accounts.
- •Do NOT pay blackmail or extortion demands: Criminal extortionists rarely delete footage upon payment; they demand escalating ransoms.
- •Do NOT file false public counter-claims: Misguided user reports without statutory backing can lock accounts in procedural deadlocks.
