The minister, who was responding to supplementaries during question hour, said the government is amending intermediary rules for social media to tackle the menace of misinformation and deep fake.
Ashwini Vaishnaw: Vaishnaw said most of the social media platforms are already moderating a lot of content and these sites are no longer a pure platform they were 30 years back. Entire global regulatory body is reaching a kind of a consensus on the matter, Vaishnaw said.
"The rules and regulations and the entire implementation mechanism is being converted to a totally digital mechanism. We are also working very closely with almost every stakeholder to make sure that our internet is safe, it is trusted and it is delivering what is intended," the minister said.
