These social media websites will have to delete or block the content if any complaint is forwarded to them.

Permanent blocking may occur if anyone fails to follow the orders.


Is it positive thing?

Well Isn’t it positive thing to control all the illegal digital activities? It will be easier to find and block such people and such content.

Why would these companies open their offices here, is it reasonable?
