By issuing a notice, the Delhi High Court has given only a month’s time to social media giants to decide which of their officers will be removing the fake news and hate speeches that revolve around various social media platforms. The list includes companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter.
Now, platforms like Facebook and Twitter have less of these fake news and rumours due to their integrated regulatory features. However, Facebook-owned WhatsApp is one platform with a massive userbase of 400 million Indian users, where any unverified messages can be shared and the source remains untraceable. This issue might be the worst for the social media giant.
