Govt orders blocking of 35 Pak-based YouTube channels over anti-India content
New Delhi: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has ordered the blocking of 35 YouTube channels and two websites which were running anti-India propaganda and spreading fake news "in a coordinated manner". All these YouTube channels, websites and social media accounts were being operated from Pakistan to spread "anti-India fake news and other contents on sensitive subjects,". The ministry said the YouTube channels, websites and social media accounts, ordered to be blocked, were used by Pakistan for spreading anti-India fake news about sensitive subjects such as the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir and India's foreign relations with other countries. "It was observed that rampant fake news was spread through the YouTube channels regarding the demise of Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat," the ministry said.
