KATHMANDU: Press Council Nepal on Monday took action against ten more YouTube channels and social sites users for disseminating unverified, misleading and fabricated content.
Most of those YouTube channels are unregistered.
Similarly, it has recommended the Cyber Bureau of Nepal Police to investigate against social media users found violating the code of conduct.
Lately, the Council has been monitoring fabricated, one-sided, and unverified content capable of promoting hate and revenge through YouTube channels and the Facebook page.
It has been actively monitoring objectionable content on social media as part of its effort to combat misinformation and raise public awareness, according to Council Joint Spokesperson and Information Officer Ramsharan Bohara.
Earlier on November 19, it took action against nine YouTube channels for disseminating inaccurate and fabricated content, accusing them of promoting anarchy.
” The full implementation of the freedom of the Press guaranteed by the Constitution is warranted to systematise the communications sector, making it more credible, decent and prestigious,” the Council said in the statement.
