Fact-checking unit may not curb opinions or satire on social media: Centre tells HC
The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has said that the role of the fact-checking unit proposed by the government will be limited to its own policies and programmes, and will not seek to limit opinions or satire on social media. The statement was made in response to a petition by satirist Kunal Kamra, who challenged certain clauses of the amended IT Rules. Kamra claimed that the rules made the government the sole arbiter of truth, breaching freedom of speech and expression. The hearing on the petition will continue on Monday.
