The government should explore selectively blocking Facebook<\/a>, WhatsApp<\/a>, and Telegram<\/a> instead of a blanket shutdown of the internet<\/a>, a parliamentary panel studying internet bans in India has suggested. 在通讯和信息技术常务委员会由资深国会领袖塔鲁尔提交了一份报告暂停电信服务(公共紧急或公共服务)规则,周三2017。 政府应该探索选择性地阻断脸谱网,WhatsApp,电报而不是全面关闭的互联网,一个议会委员会研究互联网在印度提出禁令。
The Standing Committee on Communications and IT<\/a>, headed by senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, tabled a report on the Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services (Public Emergency or Public Service) Rules, 2017 on Wednesday.
According to the report, the committee asked whether it was technically possible to shut down only those services in areas likely to be used by terrorist\/anti-social elements rather than shutting down the internet as a whole. This was in view the fact that a complete shutdown of telecom services and internet affects people in many ways, it said.
“The Committee strongly recommend that the department urgently examine the recommendation of TRAI<\/a> (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a>) and come out with a policy<\/a> which will enable the selective banning of OTT (Over The Top) services with suitable technological intervention, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram services during period of unrest\/crisis that are liable to be used by the terrorists or antinational element\/forces to ferment trouble in the specified regions,” it said.
Selective banning, the panel pointed out, will allow financial services, health, education, and various other services to continue to operate for business as usual, thereby minimizing inconvenience and suffering to the general public and also help in controlling the spread of misinformation during unrest.
The panel noted that the suspension rules for regulating internet shutdowns in India have been “grossly misused” and a proper mechanism must be put in place at the earliest to decide on the merit or appropriateness of telecom and internet shutdowns.
According to the report, internet shutdowns have led to huge economic loss, untold suffering for the public, and “severe reputational damage” to the country.
It quoted the Cellular Operators’ Association of India, according to which telecom operators reportedly lose Rs 24.5 million (Rs 2.45 crore) per hour in every circle area where there is a shutdown or throttling. Other businesses which rely on the internet could lose up to 50% of this amount, it added.
“The Committee are of the view that when the Government’s thrust is on digitization and knowledge economy with free and open access to the internet at its core, frequent suspension of internet on flimsy grounds is uncalled for and must be avoided. There is a need to monitor the exercise of this provision so that these are not misused to the disadvantage of people at large,” the report stated.
Last year, the Supreme Court had ruled that the communication restrictions imposed by the central government in Jammu and Kashmir need to be reviewed forthwith and that any suspension of internet services for an indefinite period would be subjected to judicial scrutiny.
Following this, the 2017 rules were amended in November 2020 to mandate that any suspension order issued shall not be in operation for more than 15 days, and all such orders should be published to enable the affected persons to challenge them before a high court or other appropriate forum.
“The Committee find that these guidelines have not been followed by all States\/UTs uniformly, thus giving rise to scope for ambiguity and non-compliance. The Committee, therefore, urge the Government to ensure that proper SOP\/guidelines are devised, and Supreme Court mandated guidelines are strictly adhered to in the future,” it said.

它引用了手机运营商协会的印度,据报道,根据电信运营商失去2450万卢比(2.45卢比)每小时每圈区域有一个关机或节流。其它企业依赖互联网可以减掉这个金额的50%,它补充说。
“委员会认为,当政府的推力是数字化和知识经济自由和开放的互联网接入在其核心,频繁暂停网络脆弱的理由是不适宜的,必须避免。需要监控这一规定的运动不滥用这些缺点的人,”报告表示。
去年,最高法院裁定,通信限制由中央政府在查谟和克什米尔需要立即检查,任何无限期暂停网络服务将受到司法审查。
这之后,2017年规则修订2020年11月发布的授权,任何暂停订单操作不得超过15天,和所有这些订单应该发布到使受影响的人挑战前高等法院或其他适当的论坛。
“委员会发现,这些指导方针没有紧随其后所有各省/均匀,从而引起歧义,不符合。因此,委员会敦促政府,以确保适当的SOP /指导设计,和最高法院授权指导方针严格坚持在未来,”它说。
