Internet Freedom Foundation criticises unpublished advisory to social media firms
Original: Internet Freedom Foundation Slams Govts Unpublished Advisory to Social Media Sites Ahead of Protests
The Internet Freedom Foundation has criticised the Indian government for issuing an unpublished advisory to social media platforms ahead of planned protests. The digital rights group says instructions to platforms that are not made public undermine transparency and could pressure companies to restrict speech without accountability, raising fresh concerns over online censorship and citizens' right to protest and communicate freely online.
Why now: Digital rights advocates and users are alarmed that the government privately pressured social media companies before protests without publishing the directive.
