The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to the government and Twitter on a petition asking for a mechanism to check fake news and hate messages. The petition seeks a check on seditious and incendiary content on Twitter and other social media platforms. BJP leader Vinit Goenka had filed the petition in May last year, asking for a mechanism to check Twitter content and advertisements spreading hatred through fake news and instigating messages through fake accounts. The govt is engaged in a bitter spat with twitter over demand to take some accounts down.
