What if a Social Media Influencer in India Posts Fake Vaccine Details?
criminal cuet_pg intermediate hypotheticalYeh toh kya hoga? Suppose a Social Media Influencer, jisse crores log follow karte hain, posts ki vaccine lagane ke baad koi vaccine-related side effects honge. Lekin kuch din baad, yeh fake news saabit ho jaaye that woh vaccine ki side effects theek se nahi batayi.
Aajkal koi bhi kadi baat share karne ke baad, social media par logon ka reaction aaya karte hain. Agar yeh influencer ko pata chalta ki yeh fake news hai, phir usne kiya hota? Agar usne to koi cheez nahi kiya, to yeh kya IPC's section 107 IPC ke under a case kar sakte hain?

Additional Info: According to IPC Sec 188, spreading fake news hoaxes abt vaccine details can lead to imprisonment up to 3 years or hefty fines. Also, IT Rules 2021 hold social media influencers accountable for misleading content. Influencers must verify vaccine facts from credible sources like WHO, MoHFW, or Govt websites before sharing. Their followers might not know the truth, so influencers need to be extra cautious in India.
Mujhe lagta hai yeh ek bahut bada issue hai. Fake vaccine details post karke influencer logon ko dhang se samajh ke sambodhit karne ki jarurat hai. Unko pata hona chahiye ki vaccine ke bare mein jaldi aur bina vyaktigat jankari ki jaanch ke fake news ya information post karne se kya hoga.
