Indian Government’s Press Bureau (PIB) may soon have the power to censor content shared on social media.
A newly proposed amendment to the IT Rules, 2021 requires social media platforms to refer to fact-checks carried out by PIB.
Social media platforms must ensure that any content flagged by PIB is not shared by users.
