The office of the prime minister
(PMO) of India, the biggest democratic
country, with a population of 1.3 billion people, has at last opened
an account on Twitter and announced its
decision today to join Facebook, following the old saying if
you can’t beat them join them.
Dr Man Mohan Singh, a renowned
economist and India India India
Fed up with the abusive posts,
morphed pictures and all sorts of twisted and contorted facts and false
accusation which appear in the social web in the name of democratic freedom and
criticism, Man Mohan Singh seems to have given up and taken the bold step to
take the bull by the horns and use the social web to communicate and set things
straight.
The timing of the move by the PMO
is interesting. A junior court in India, where petitions were filed against
Google, Facebook and twenty odd social media companies for breech of infringement
of a law only enacted last year, making companies responsible for user content
posted on their websites, had warned of a crackdown "like
China" if they did not take steps to protect religious sensibilities.
Last month, the companies said it was
not possible for them to block content.
However, Google and Facebook removed
content from some Indian domain websites today, following a court directive
warning them severe restrictive action if not complied.
Though no one really thinks that India China
By joining the networks, the
Prime Minister and his government is clearly showing that the Social web in India
At the same time India has also
sent the right signals, through its administration and judicial system that it
is in no mood to tolerate and live with excessive and irresponsible use of the
social web and will look forward to exerting the same level of control over the
regular media, as a country with religious sensitivities and prone to violence.
In fairness to Dr Man Mohan Singh
and his office, whose priority was to fire fight various political and other
crisis over the last two years, having the fun of tweeting and posting updates
like many other world leaders and millions of ordinary citizens is a reward long
over due.
