Social Media: Monitoring on social media is necessary, expression is not threatened
In the midst of the ongoing discussion on surveillance on social media, Mayank Bidwatka, co-founder of Swadesi micro-blogging platform Ku, says that why India, governments all over the world should bring such policy.
This will not affect freedom of expression at all. Suppose you are the CEO of a social media platform where someone is saying something (wrong) under the cover of the mask and his mindless followers are spreading hatred in the country and society by retweeting it. To know this, this address as CEO
It is your duty to figure out who did the first tweet and how to stop it. They say that you cannot abuse a woman on the street or murder anyone because there is a law, then why not a law for the Internet. What you cannot do in the offline world, should not be in the online world either.
Mayank will not be the weapon of government against social media, says that Ku is my company and my partner's company, not the government's. Therefore it will work autonomously. The issue here is something else. Take the example of Twitter ... Twitter is a very beautiful and democratic product. There is no shortage of fundamentally in this.
The problem is people who do bad things on Twitter just for their benefit. If the government brings rules to maintain the unity and integrity of the country, then what is the harm in this?
Will definitely give voice to the movements… On the question of becoming the voice of the movements, he said that the government has not banned you from making your point. The biggest concern is the outsiders, who want to take advantage of the internal affairs of the country and are misleading people by spreading Propaganda without any facts or evidence.
It is not right to call someone a thief without proof. If someone stays within the purview of the law and speaks in the right and peaceful way through the movement, then we will definitely become his voice.
The allegation of logo theft from Twitter is baseless
There is no basis for reports like stealing logos from Twitter. Suppose you have to show thums up, then there is only one way for this. If you like any content on Facebook, there comes a thumbs up. This does not mean that Thums Up Company should accuse Facebook of logo theft.
Mayank will leave Twitter behind in five years, Mayank says that Twitter is not our opponent because it is in English and we in Indian languages. Twitter comes in Indian languages along with English, then we will be competitive. However, the faster the people are joining us, the more we will leave Twitter before five years.
