The Indian government has banned more YouTube channels for spreading false information. The list includes 10 Indian and 6 Pakistani YouTube channels. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting banned 22 channels on YouTube, 18 were based in India and 4 in Pakistan.
Stating the reason for the blocking, PIB said it “observed that these channels were used to spread fake news over social media on matters related to national security, India’s foreign relations, communal harmony in the country, and public order. None of the digital news publishers had furnished information to the Ministry as required under rule 18 of the IT Rules, 2021.”
The government of India said that the “content published by some of the India-based YouTube channels referred to a community as terrorists, and incited hatred among the members of various religious communities. Such content was found to have the potential to create communal disharmony, and disturb public order.” In addition, PIB also said that it found multiple India-based YouTube channels publishing “unverified news and videos having the potential to create panic among various sections of society.”
YouTube channels based in Pakistan were found posting fake news about the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir, and India’s foreign relations in the light of the situation in Ukraine, etc. “The content of these channels was observed to be completely false, and sensitive from the perspective of national security, sovereignty and integrity of India, and India’s friendly relations with foreign States,’ PIB noted.
