Beware: "Intermediary" Clause Gets You Every Time

cyber general advanced trick_question

Maine abhi hi 3:14 am ki raat ko dekha toh mere dil mein ehsaas aya ki kuch logon ko "intermediary" ke lije IT Act ka 79th clause kehna hai par ye sach hai ki 98.99% log use theek se samajh nahi paate. Ye jo "intermediary" hota hai, use common man "platform" ya "service provider" kehte hain. Lekin itna kuch bhi hota hai. Kuch logon ko lagta hai ki yeh kehna hota hai ki hum bhi intermediaries hain kyunki hum apne friends ko message karte hain. Lekin inki galti ye hai ki ve IT Act ke under kaam karne vale services pehchante nahi hain.

Agree, friends! The 'intermediary' clause can trip us up. It's that tiny clause in a contract where the service provider is absolved of any liability if a third-party service causes harm. We see it in e-commerce, OTTs, and even education platforms. Be cautious while agreeing to terms. Read the fine print, and don't get caught off guard! It's all about understanding the terms before signing up.
