A bench led by Chief Justice of India N V Ramana was hearing a batch of petitions, including the one filed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, seeking directions to the Centre to stop the dissemination of “fake news”, which links the spread of Covid-19 with the Tablighi Jamaat gathering at the Markaz Nizamuddin and take action against those responsible for it. The bench noted that “web portals are not governed by anything. There is an attempt to give communal color to news and that is the problem, It ultimately brings a bad name to the country. The Chief Justice also stated that social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube don’t respond to judges and write against institutions without any accountability. Ramana added that they only respond to “powerful voices.“There is no control over fake news and slandering in web portals and YouTube channels. If you go to YouTube, you will find how fake news is freely circulated and anyone can start a channel on YouTube,” the bench remarked.
