NEW DELHI, April 8, 2023 (TBINN)
Former I.T. minister Kapil Sibal today attacked Centre over the fact-check provisions of the I.T. Amendment Rules, saying now the government will decide what is fake and Union Home Minister Amit Shah says democracy is not in danger.
Earlier, Minister of State for Electronics and I.T. Rajeev Chandrasekhar said internet firms like Google, Facebook and Twitter may lose protection under safe harbour if they fail to remove content identified by the government-notified fact-checker as false or misleading information.
Reacting to the development, Kapil Sibal said now P.I.B. will decide what is fake and what is not and notify it. If online platforms choose to ignore, they will lose their immunity from prosecution. Now Government to decide what is fake and what is not! And Amit Shah ji says democracy is not in danger, the Rajya Sabha M.P. underlined.
