GoI's trying to introduce some element of self-regulation in online content creation. Since a very large part of the information we consume today is being created or processed by online creators, it's right in trying to plug the regulatory arbitrage between legacy and digital platforms.

This would apply more critically to broadcast, especially when it can be done through social media by an individual. Persons broadcasting online for profit should be held to a higher threshold of accountability. This is where things get complicated. The nature of online communication can very well transform personal opinion into a broadcast. Using the profit motive as a differentiator would allow a section of broadcast content online the wider liberty of freedom of expression.

Those who did not participate in the Independence movement give advice to the Congress party and without any contribution want to get counted among the martyrs,» he said.
