The Indian Army has implemented a new policy restricting social media usage among its personnel, allowing access to platforms like Instagram solely for viewing and monitoring purposes, with no comments or opinions permitted. Additionally, while communication via platforms such as Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal is allowed, it is limited to unclassified information exchanged only with known contacts, placing the responsibility of recipient verification on the user. This policy aims to enhance operational security and prevent the disclosure of sensitive information, reflecting the evolving approach of the Indian military towards information management in an increasingly digital age. Such measures underline the Army’s commitment to maintaining confidentiality and safeguarding national security interests in the face of modern communication challenges.
