Over the past few months, the Centre has attempted to tighten the noose around fact-checking online content – first, it notified the Information Technology Rules, 2023 in April this year, setting the stage for the creation of a government-backed fact check unit that will be empowered to label online content related to the Union government as “fake” or “misleading”. The Bill could also upend some of the underlying principles that govern online platforms currently, including rewriting norms for safe harbour. User harms related to emerging technologies, including generative AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, will also be addressed in the Bill. The Indian Express had earlier reported that the IT Ministry could classify deliberate misinformation, doxxing, impersonation, identity theft, catfishing, and cyberbullying of children as offences under the new Bill. As part of this, the plan under consideration to register private fact-checking organisations is distinct from the fact-check unit that the IT Ministry has proposed to vet online information related to the Centre.Ī draft of the Digital India Bill could be released by the end of June, or early July, the official said.
