Indian editors decry govt move to police online news FMTNews FMTWorld
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration has been in repeated tussles with various social media platforms.
The amendments to the country’s IT rules make it obligatory on platforms “not to publish, share or host fake, false or misleading information” about the government. The federal government yesterday announced that it will appoint the fact-check unit to identify fake, false or misleading information, but the Editors Guild of India questions the unit’s governing mechanism, its sweeping powers in determining fake news and the right to appeal in such cases.
“The ministry’s notification of such draconian rules is therefore regrettable. The guild again urges the ministry to withdraw this notification and conduct consultations with media organisations and press bodies.”
