The government tightened the grip on social media even more


In India, the government and social media have long been at loggerheads over freedom to publish content and government control over it. For a few years now the Indian government has started imposing restrictions on social media and now last week India's IT Act has been amended once again. Accordingly, Facebook , Twitter and other social media shall not publish or host any false or misleading information regarding the working of the Government. Before publishing any such information, the social media companies have to check the authenticity of the information with the help of fake check unit set up by the government. It is natural that social media is protesting against this new provision. As India is a huge market for companies like Facebook , Twitter and Google, it is obvious that any kind of restrictions would be harsh on them. But in addition to this, organizations like Journalists and Editors Guild of India have also raised objections. According to all of them, this provision will threaten press freedom in India.

On the one hand , we have a keen interest in chatting about nonsense in WhatsApp , but we are not particularly interested in knowing why fraud occurs , why it is avoided, etc. , so as not to lose our hard earned money in conversation . On the other hand , due to such an attitude, if someone loses money by getting involved in fraud, ' that money is gone , now come back a little ?' Such is our attitude. But this writer has also had the experience of someone in his immediate circle being a victim of a cyber money fraud and quickly (without any identification) getting back the amount lost in the fraud if complaint action was taken to the bank and cyber crime cell. Even though months have passed , the amount has been returned! Therefore , we cannot afford to be complacent ...

Easy cleaning of OTP messages.

We also receive OTPs for logging into bank sites, making transactions from apps, logging into sites that have two-factor authentication enabled, or delivering items ordered on shopping sites to ensure that the delivery is being made to the correct person. Thus, OTP messages are being hacked from many places in our smartphones every day. Nowadays, we hardly use messaging apps except reading SMS, so we don't pay much attention to the OTP messages stored in it. The size of such messages is very small, on the contrary, the storage space available in the phone is much more, so if we do not delete the useless messages regularly, but if the amount of such messages increases too much, it can increase the load on the overall system of the phone.
