In the News: EC expert committee deliberates on whether Twitter hashtags could be considered political advertisements

“An expert committee set up by the Electoral Commission last year recommended that ‘Hashtag’ trends on Twitter be treated as political advertisements during the electoral process. The committee, in its interim report submitted to the pol en panel January, also called for creation of a separate social media monitoring cell in the District Election Officer (DEO) office so that political advertisements on social media can be tracked during elections, reported The Times of India. In February, India reprimanded Twitter for failing to comply with its orders to remove certain content and warned the social media giant that it must obey local laws. #ElectionCommission #TwitterHashtags # PoliticalAds #G23 #Congress #ISF #AnandSharma #AdhirRanjanChowdhury #WestBengalElection2021” To become a Youtube member – https://www.youtube. com/channel/UCKS2lBhhZZGipYENVHxMBkQ/join SUBSCRIBE to HW News English Here ► http://bit.ly/Subscribe-HWNews-English Download the free HW News Network app available on Android and iOS: http://onelink.to /bpk42n For POLITICAL NEWS and updates in English.
