The IT Act of 2000's safe harbor principle absolves internet intermediaries of liability for third-party content hosted on their platforms. This clause guarantees that social media sites are not responsible for content posted by users. The safe harbor clause has been suggested for revision in the recently introduced Digital India Act, 2023, which aims to replace the IT Act. The law aims to hold social media platforms responsible for user-generated content.
