Industry experts on Saturday welcomed the government’s latest move to notify rules under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023. This particular modification in the Data Prevention Act will formally help in operationalising India’s first dedicated personal-data protection regime, news agency IANS reported. 

The notification rolled out by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) stated, “Social media sites, online gateways, and any other organisations handling personal data are required to give users a detailed explanation of the information being gathered and to make it apparent how it will be used."
