Ashwini Vaishnaw Warns YouTube, Meta, X and Netflix to Comply With Constitution After India Tightens Content Takedown Rules

0

Highlights

  • India’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw urged platforms like YouTube, Meta, X, and Netflix to comply with India’s constitutional framework under new rules.
  • Social media companies must now remove unlawful content within 3 hours of notification, a sharp reduction from the earlier 36-hour window.
  • European regulators also intensified investigations into harmful AI-generated content on major platforms.

The Indian government has issued a clear message to global technology platforms, urging them to operate within the country’s constitutional boundaries following stricter content moderation rules.

Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday that major digital platforms such as YouTube, Meta, X, and Netflix must function in alignment with India’s constitutional framework.

“It’s very important for the multinationals to understand the cultural context of the country in which they are operating,” the minister said during a briefing at the India AI Impact Summit.

His remarks came on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi, where leading executives from global artificial intelligence companies are joining world leaders for discussions this week.

Vaishnaw also highlighted the growing concerns around deepfakes, stating that stronger regulatory measures are needed to address the issue. He confirmed that discussions with industry stakeholders have already begun to explore potential solutions.

India’s Stricter Content Takedown Timeline

The minister’s comments follow the government’s move last week to significantly tighten content removal timelines. Under the updated rules, social media companies are now required to remove unlawful content within three hours of receiving notification. Previously, platforms had up to 36 hours to act.

The new mandate could present compliance challenges for companies such as Meta, YouTube and X, as they adjust their moderation systems to meet the shortened deadline.

The push for tougher oversight comes amid rising global scrutiny of social media companies and their content governance practices. Governments worldwide are pressing platforms to take quicker action against harmful and illegal material, demanding greater transparency and accountability.

Authorities in Spain recently directed prosecutors to investigate X, Meta, and TikTok over allegations that AI-generated child sexual abuse material was being circulated on their platforms. The move reflects intensified scrutiny by European regulators targeting large technology firms over the spread of harmful and unlawful content.

FAQs

Q1. What message did Ashwini Vaishnaw give to global tech platforms?

Answer. He urged platforms like YouTube, Meta, X, and Netflix to operate within India’s constitutional framework and respect the country’s cultural context.

Q2. What is the new timeline for removing unlawful content in India?

Answer. Social media companies must now take down unlawful content within 3 hours of notification, compared to the previous 36-hour deadline.

Q3. Why is India tightening content moderation rules?

Answer. The move addresses rising concerns over deepfakes and harmful content, aligning with global scrutiny as regulators worldwide demand faster, more transparent action.

Infinix has officially introduced its latest Note lineup with the launch of the Infinix Note 60 Pro and Infinix Note 60. The new series brings significant upgrades including large 6,000mAh+ batteries, advanced cooling systems, and high-refresh-rate OLED displays. Notably, the Pro model marks a milestone for the brand as the first Infinix smartphone since 2019 to feature a Snapdragon chipset. Here’s more about the newly launched devices.

Infinix Note 60 Pro – Key Features

At the heart of the Infinix Note 60 Pro is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, a 4nm processor introduced last year. The device is available with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and comes with 256GB of internal storage.

To ensure consistent performance during demanding tasks such as gaming, Infinix has equipped the Pro model with a 3D IceCore vapor chamber measuring 4,758mm², along with a 0.36mm copper sheet. Together, this cooling setup can reduce temperatures by up to 3°C during intensive gameplay sessions.

One of the standout features of the Pro variant is the Active Matrix Display positioned on the camera island. This dot-style secondary display shows notification icons and allows users to personalise it with scrolling emojis and Pixel Pets. It even supports mini-games like Dot Dash and Star Blast.

The main display, on the other hand, is the 6.78-inch OLED display at the front. The screen offers a resolution of 1,080 x 2,436 pixels, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits. PWM dimming is included to manage brightness levels effectively, while Gorilla Glass 7i provides protection.

The multimedia experience is enhanced by dual JBL speakers positioned at the top and bottom. The device features a high-strength aluminium alloy frame with contoured edges designed for a comfortable grip.

Bringing back a feature less common in the era of in-display fingerprint sensors, the side-mounted fingerprint reader on the Pro can measure heart rate, heart rate variation, and blood-oxygen levels via the My Health App.

On the opposite side, a customisable One-Tap Button allows users to switch modes, such as activating Silent mode, or quickly launch apps like the flashlight and SnapMemo organiser.

The Infinix Note 60 Pro is equipped with a 50MP main camera featuring 0.8µm pixels, an f/1.59 aperture lens, and optical image stabilisation (OIS). It supports in-sensor 2x zoom and 4-in-1 pixel binning that outputs 12.5MP images. Accompanying the primary sensor is an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 112° field of view and an f/2.2 aperture, along with a flicker sensor. The main camera can record 4K video at 30fps.

Battery performance is another major highlight. The Note 60 Pro houses a 6,500mAh battery, though certain regions will receive a 6,000mAh version. A unique feature called Battery Self-Healing Technology uses low current to repair micro-cracks within the battery. Infinix claims this process restores 1% of battery health every 200 charge cycles, potentially extending battery longevity to at least six years under normal usage.

On a full charge, the Pro can deliver up to 34 hours of video playback (31 hours for the smaller battery variant) or up to 22 hours of navigation (20 hours for the 6,000mAh model).

Charging is equally impressive. The 90W wired fast charging can reach 50% in 16 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes (14 minutes and 35 minutes respectively for the smaller battery version). The phone also supports 30W wireless charging.

The Pro launches with Android 16 layered with XOS 16. Infinix promises three major OS upgrades and five years of security updates, meaning support will continue up to XOS 19.

Additional features include an IR blaster, IP64-rated “rain-proof” protection, and enhanced drop resistance.

The Torino Black edition of the Note 60 Pro has been designed by the renowned Italian design firm Pininfarina.

Infinix Note 60 – Features with Key Differences

Separately, there is also a standard Infinix Note 60 model as well. The standard model shares a lot of the features and design elements with the pro model. One of the key differences, however, is that the standard model is powered by the Dimensity 7400 Ultimate chipset. Although, it does comes with 8GB of RAM paired with either 128GB or 256GB of storage. Like the Pro, it also utilizes a 3D IceCore vapor chamber for thermal management.

It shares the same 6.78-inch OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness, protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. JBL stereo speakers are also present. However, instead of the Active Matrix Display, the standard model features an Active Halo RGB LED light on the back.

Battery capacity varies by region, with either 6,500mAh or 6,150mAh units available. Wired charging is reduced to 45W, though 30W wireless charging remains supported.

The vanilla model maintains the same metal frame design, IP64 rating, and includes an IR blaster as well.

These glasses will reportedly not include a display, but will rely on built-in speakers, microphones, and cameras to deliver functionality.

Prototypes are said to include two cameras with one for high-resolution photo and video capture and another dedicated to “computer vision” to provide environmental context. This context-aware capability could enable features similar to Visual Intelligence on the iPhone.

Such environmental awareness may also enhance navigation through Apple Maps, integrate with Reminders, and support additional real-time assistance. The report states, “The goal is for the glasses to function as an all-day AI companion, capable of understanding what a user is seeing and doing in real time,”

Apple is reportedly designing its own frames in-house in multiple sizes and colours. While the company explored partnerships with other manufacturers, it ultimately chose to handle design and development internally.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said, Early prototypes of the glasses connect via a cable to a standalone battery pack and an iPhone, but newer versions have the components embedded in the frame. The design uses high-end materials, including acrylic elements intended to give the glasses a premium feel. Apple is already discussing launching the device in additional styles over time.”

Apple’s AI Pendant

Apple is also said to be developing an AI-powered pendant device, resembling a wearable pin. Last month, The Information described it as a thin, flat, circular disc similar in size to an AirTag, featuring an aluminium-and-glass shell, two cameras, a speaker, and three microphones.

Bloomberg’s latest report notes that the device is “reminiscent of the failed Humane AI pin,” but with key distinctions. Notably, Apple’s version will not include a display or projector.

“The pendant would essentially serve as an always-on camera for the smartphone that also includes a microphone for Siri input. Some Apple employees call it the “eyes and ears” of the phone. One area of debate for the product has been whether or not to include a speaker, which would allow users to hold back-and-forth conversations with the device directly. That means they could leave their iPhone in their pocket or bag or not wear AirPods,” the report adds.

Apple reportedly envisions users wearing the AI pin either clipped to clothing or as a necklace. However, Gurman cautions that the device remains in early development and could still be scrapped. If development proceeds as planned, it could debut as early as next year.

Camera-Equipped AirPods

In addition to the smart glasses and AI pendant, Apple is continuing the development of AirPods with integrated cameras. These upgraded earbuds could launch as soon as this year.

Unlike Apple’s minimalist invite, Nothing opted for a bold and playful approach. The company effectively “vandalised” Apple’s clean design with a punk-rock style, spray-painted overlay. Carl Pei used a vibrant, dripping pink graffiti-style font to stamp the Nothing brand name across the top and alter the date to March 5.

The move highlights Nothing’s signature disruptive branding strategy, positioning its launch as a counterpoint to Apple’s event.

Apple Tests End-to-End Encrypted RCS Messaging in iOS 26.4 Beta for iPhone, iPad and Mac

0

Highlights

  • Apple is testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging in the iOS 26.4 beta.
  • The feature introduces a lock icon in RCS chats, requires RCS Universal Profile 3.0 and is enabled by default on supported devices and carriers.
  • It is available in iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4 developer betas.

Apple has begun testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages with the release of the iOS 26.4 beta, alongside iPadOS 26.4 and macOS Tahoe 26.4. The move marks a significant step toward securing cross-platform messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple released the first developer betas of iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4. The updates are currently available to developers with a public launch expected in the spring. Here’s more detail on that.

End-to-End Encryption Expands to RCS Messaging

Apple has been collaborating with the GSMA to bring end-to-end encryption to RCS messaging. While Apple’s iMessage platform has long supported E2EE for messages exchanged between iPhones, cross-platform conversations between iPhone and Android users have lacked full encryption.

Although RCS chats between Android devices already support E2EE, communications between Android and iPhone users have not previously been secured at the same level. With the integration of end-to-end encryption for RCS, Apple aims to ensure that cross-platform messages become as secure as iMessage conversations.

How RCS Encryption Works in iOS 26.4 Beta?

Developers testing the iOS 26.4 beta will notice a new toggle in the Settings app that enables end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging. The feature is switched on by default for supported devices and carriers.

According to Apple, most carriers that currently support RCS are also expected to support RCS end-to-end encryption. However, during the first beta phase, RCS encryption on Apple devices is available for testing only when iMessage is disabled.

Users running the beta software will see a lock icon appear in RCS chats, indicating that end-to-end encryption is active. The lock symbol will now also appear in iMessage conversations.

Apple has noted that RCS encryption will roll out gradually to beta users, meaning not all testers will gain immediate access.

RCS Universal Profile 3.0 Required

To enable full end-to-end encryption for RCS, Apple will need to adopt RCS Universal Profile 3.0. The GSMA recently published this updated standard with Apple’s involvement. Currently, Apple supports RCS Universal Profile 2.4.

The newer Universal Profile 3.0 specification also introduces additional cross-platform messaging. These include the ability to edit and delete text messages, as well as reply inline to specific messages during conversations between Android and iPhone users.

FAQs

Q1. What new security feature is Apple testing in iOS 26.4 beta?

Answer. Apple is testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging, making cross-platform chats between iPhone and Android users more secure.

Q2. How can users tell if RCS encryption is active on their device?

Answer. A lock icon will appear in RCS chats (and iMessage conversations) when end-to-end encryption is enabled.

Q3. What standard is required for full RCS encryption support?

Answer. Apple will need to adopt RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which adds features like editing, deleting, and inline replies in cross-platform messaging.
