The prohibitory order, effective for two months, bars posting, sharing, or commenting on content that incites religious, communal, or caste-based hatred, spreads rumors, or provokes violence. Group administrators are held responsible for content within their groups. Cyber cafe operators must verify user identities and maintain records. The measures aim to prevent the misuse of platforms for spreading provocative messages and inciting violence.
