1 person, 1 Social identity (eKYC of social media accounts in India)
The Issue
Social Media websites should stop promoting creation of fake accounts by promoting eKYC of users. This will reduce the spread of fake news and false propaganda among the nation.
There is an estimate that out of every 5 facebook accounts, 1 is fake. This implies that if there are, say 1L citizens accounts on Facebook, 20k are just fake accounts spreading nuisance and hatred.
In every election, help of these fake accounts ate taken to promote extremism and create a sense of anguish among the citizens. Its therefore nedded that there must be check on these social websites.
Just think what it take to make social media a account. One email and 1 mobile number. Both of these can be produced any number of times resulting in many more fake accounts. Means there is no check on all the info sources which are basic needs of fb account.
If email cant be put under scrutiny, atleast we can promote 3 4 sim cards only for a person and eKYC of social media accounts.
A handsome amount of money is spent in promotion of propaganda just before the time of election. It is estimated that in BJP India IT cell, 5k people are recruited for managing social media accounts per year. They already have it cell user base of more than 5L person headed by Super 150 at top of hierarchy
So to stop the spreading of fake news and false propaganda we demand for -
1 person, 1 social identity (FB account)
