The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has called on YouTube to tackle the problem of "fake news channels" by taking legal action and adding a "news not verified" disclaimer. The ministry has also requested major social media platforms to submit an action plan within 10 days, outlining how they plan to fight fake news and unlawful content. This move comes as an effort to combat online misinformation in anticipation of the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
