Election Commission told to Facebook-Twitter - Do not broadcast such news from which elections will be affected





Chief Election Commissioner said - Stop the wrong reports during social media campaigns including Google.

According to OP Rawat, social media companies will need to do the maximum drill 48 hours before voting

Google, Facebook and Twitter have told the Election Commission that their platform will not broadcast any news that affects the credibility of elections during the campaign. Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat gave this information on Sunday. Rawat also said that this has been tested during the Karnataka elections.

Election Commission had discussions with regional heads of social media companies

Rawat said that this was a beginning in Karnataka. The Lok Sabha elections will be held next year. There are assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram later this year. In view of this, we have to make much preparation.

According to Chief Election Commissioner Rawat, senior Deputy Election Commissioner Umesh Sinha had spoken to the regional heads of Google, Facebook and Twitter. Sinha appealed to the chiefs whether they can reassure the credibility of the elections.

Rawat said - Social media companies, including Google, should not use their platform for Fake News so that the people do not have to reverse their impact.

Chief Election Commissioner Rawat told that during the campaign, social media including Facebook and Twitter will be used extensively. All of them must stop the dissemination of wrong reports. This would be more important if voting would last for 48 hours.

According to Rawat - the election campaign ceases 48 hours before the election. This time the silence period is called. In the meantime, the voter decides who to vote for whom.

The Chief Election Commissioner also said that social media companies also gave assurances that they would also show political advertisements. It will also cover the expenses of the parties. This will allow the political parties to know about the expenditure incurred in the election campaign.

Google will install such a system so that it will be allowed to share details with the Election Commission about the expenditure on its platform.
