<h1>New Draft Rules for Digital Personal Data Protection Act Focus on Privacy, Innovation, and Children's Safety; Public Consultation Open.</h1> The government has released draft rules for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, aiming to balance regulation with innovation while safeguarding citizen rights. The rules, open for public consultation, emphasize minimal prescription for easy implementation and address privacy concerns, especially for children. Social media platforms must obtain verifiable parental consent for children's accounts. Penalties for data breaches vary, with higher obligations for large tech companies. Entities have two years to comply with the new rules, which will be finalized in the monsoon session. The rules ensure media operations remain unaffected and emphasize citizen rights in data processing overseas.
