Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following sections of the Information Technology Act grants Internet Service Providers (or intermediaries) immunity from liability, in certain cases, for the content they host?

“While in case of an emergency, the State police directly write to the intermediary concerned, such as Facebook and Twitter, to block a website under Section 79 (3)(b) of the Information Technology Act. The other way of blocking objectionable content is through a committee comprising CERT-in officials, which takes a call after wider consultation.”
