Intermediaries get a safe harbor protection under Section 79. This is conditional on them not modifying the content or initiating the transmission or selecting the receiver of the transmission.
It is also reliant on intermediaries discharging the due diligence requirements under the Act and under the Intermediary Guidelines Rules, 2021.
