The Press Club of India has raised concerns about the Uttar Pradesh government’s proposed new digital media policy aimed at regulating “anti-national, indecent, or hurtful” content on social media.
“Section 7(2) of the said policy states that legal action by director information of the UP government will be initiated against content creators if any content is deemed to be ‘anti-national’, ‘anti-social’, ‘paints the government in bad light’ or is ‘created with malafide intent’,” the press club said in a statement.
