New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre and Twitter seeking a mechanism “to check content and advertisements spreading hatred through fake news and instigative messages through bogus accounts”, especially the micro-blogging website. The Court was hearing a plea filed by BJP leader Vinit Goenka asking for directions to the central government to devise a mechanism to ascertain “anti-India” and “seditious” posts on social media platforms.
Issuing notices to the Centre & Twitter, a bench led by the Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said that the matter must be tagged with similar pending petitions seeking social media regulation.
