Along with all the media, the government also took control on the social media
From today we all have become a part of the government media. It means that the control of our tongue has come in the hands of the government. What will we speak, how much will we speak, how will we speak, when will we speak. The government will keep an eye on all this what you have done or not done against its wishes, the law that will break the back of social media has come and its target will be our kind of digital content creators who openly question or raise questions on the government. There is a law to suppress. Let’s understand this, in which law?
If this law is to be explained in one line, then it means that the government will decide the news and take action on the basis of that. Explain it in detail, what is the meaning of news and what is the meaning of government’s decision on news. This law was named as IT Act 2021. Means information technology 2021 government has approved it at 2021. Along with this, the government has got the right to strangle the social media because under this law, the government has got the right to decide fake news. For this, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting will set up an Accept Checking Unit and it will decide whether the news circulating on the online platform is real or fake.
It means whatever you are writing, speaking, reading. His monitoring, whether he is right or wrong, his language, everything has come in the hands of the government. If the government setting unit makes any content fake or not considered fake or miss leading in its fact check. Had to be removed from all online platforms and did not do so. What happened to the hot party could put the farmer in danger. Consider the third party and the farmer as well. When I create content, I am the first party who is watching it and between the two of us, YouTube or Facebook or Twitter or Instagram is the third party. Now understand the game. I have created some content and the government does not like it, then it will directly ask Facebook, YouTube or Twitter to remove it, it seems brahmin. There is miss leading and she has to be removed. Otherwise his forward will be in danger. Also understand from to forward. Facebook and YouTube do not create any content. The government so far held them directly responsible for any content so far from themselves. Like if I made a video of a content creator. Some are mine, but now this exemption has been abolished in the new ITI. If they will also be held responsible for giving platform to any video audio article podcast or even the speech of the leaders, then how will Facebook or YouTube avoid getting into legal trouble due to the end of pain on someone. It will be easier for them. Delete the video immediately. All the media personnel and institutions objected to this law that everyone’s concern is how the government can decide whether the news is right or wrong. This has become a matter of silencing the journalists.
Especially our kind of journalists who are able to muster the courage to write, read and speak something on the strength of the freedom of expression given by the constitution with a small team at a low cost in a very modest resource. In fact, before the final draft of the law, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting presented its draft in January. There was a direct proposal in this that the government would become a fact checking body and if it told any news as wrong, then you cannot do anything. He has to be removed from all the platforms of digital media. In the earlier draft, it was proposed that this work would be done by the ID i.e. Press Information Bureau. The body that will be formed in the name of checking the body of the Central Government, the body that will be formed will be an IT cell counter in a way and how does it work? Selective disposal of conflicting habitats. Meaning, earlier these people used to work only like troll army, but now they will have legal rights.
