"From today onwards there is zero tolerance for violation of IT rules," Chandrasekhar said
Govt will assist people in filing FIRs against social media platforms in case they are aggrieved by objectionable content like deepfakes.
Ashwini Vaishnaw: This comes after the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had issued an advisory to all social media and internet intermediaries, asking them to take strict action on any deepfake content under the provisions of the IT Rules and IT Act.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said that online gaming is virtual, boundaryless and part of the internet ecosystem and therefore, it has the power to regulate it.
The move comes even as PM Modi terms fake content created using technology as a serious threat.
