Question

govt measures to control mass media's fake news for trp​

Answer 1

Answer:

The only option to completely stop the spread of hoaxes on WhatsApp is to shut it down. But doing so would limit the ability of millions of bona fide users to use the application. On top of that, the move would possibly be ineffective.

With nearly 200 million monthly users, one in three Indian users have even run out of space on their phone daily because they used the app so much. India is WhatsApp’s biggest market where, according to the company, users forward more messages, photos and videos than in any other country. Whats-App is particularly important for rural users, as it helps them cheaply connect to family members far away, send pictures of their products to clients across India, and receive election campaign messages.

The only way India can require communication platforms to police content is if the country first imposes a blanket ban on apps that use end-to-end encryption.

This, however, would weaken consumer privacy and cybersecurity. WhatsApp can only read and police the messages of users if it stops encrypting their messages. In this scenario, India could fine organisations that do not stop the spread of false messages, similar to how Germany penalises platforms for not removing fake news.

However, besides reducing cybersecurity, it is not only difficult for any company to determine what is true or false, but it can also be time-consuming, not to mention costly. Startups, in particular, lack the resources of their larger competitors, which may lead to reduced competition.
