The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India recently ordered to block multiple YouTube channels and news websites that were reportedly spreading anti-India content and fake news related to sensitive topics of India. The ministry issued two orders to restrict the YouTube channels and news websites operating under the New Pakistan Group (NPG).
“Most of the content pertains to subjects sensitive from the perspective of national security and are factually incorrect, and are being mainly posted from Pakistan as a coordinated disinformation network as in the case of the Naya Pakistan Group against India and thus, deemed it fit for action under the provisions to block content in case of emergency,” the ministry said.
