Many a times social media platforms are themselves sources of information.  Regulating Misuse of social media Regulation of content on social media necessitates the platform to arbitrate on content in order to check misuse. Such arbitration is essential to check following issues o Offensive content There have been several instances hate speech racist comments and other content which is offensive to communities in general or societies in particular. o Illegal content Social media platforms are used to transmit information which is otherwise illegal. For example information on sexselective abortions radicalization of youth among others. o Fake news The issue of fake news has been increasing exponentially. For instance Check4Spam a nonprofit entity that verifies posts on social media said the number of messages it received to check veracity increased more than 20% from last year.
