FIR can be filed for spreading fake news

New IT Rules Strict Action: In this era of social media, everyone has their own YouTube channel, Instagram and Facebook account. Through these platforms, people upload fake videos, photos and news without any investigation. At the same time, many media channels also run news and videos with ‘breaking’ tag in order to increase TRP and followers. But now uploading any photo, video or news on social media without checking it can create difficulties for you.

The government has implemented strict rules to ban fake news and deepfake content. In such a situation, if any person or organization deliberately spreads wrong information, then an FIR will be registered against him and he will also be punished legally.
