PM FB post issue: Meta writes to govt, outlines rigorous safeguards for posts by prominent accounts

New Delhi, Jul 29: Meta wrote to the government on Wednesday outlining the specifics of enhanced and rigorous safeguards it has now implemented for content posted by the Prime Minister and other prominent accounts, according to sources. Meta has informed the IT Ministry that posts by the Prime Minister and prominent accounts will have additional oversight on the platform and that multiple checks will take place at levels of senior company officials, sources said, citing the social media firm's communication to the ministry. Meta team is likely to meet government officials later this week or early next week over the Prime Minister's Facebook post issue, sources added. An email sent by PTI to Meta seeking comments did not elicit a response. The government on Tuesday summoned a top Meta executive after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent post addressing India's youth and promising stringent measures against paper leaks was briefly restricted by Facebook, and although the US-headquartered social media giant blamed it on a technical glitch and apologised, the IT Ministry had found the explanation inadequate. Prime Minister Modi's Instagram post of July 23, later shared on Facebook, marked his first direct selfie video aimed at engaging with the youth and underscoring the government's commitment to crack down on paper leaks amid students' protests, was restricted briefly by Meta on Facebook. Following this, the global head of public policy of Meta (Facebook and Instagram) was summoned by the IT Ministry. IT Secretary S Krishnan on Tuesday said that while Meta has apologised and admitted that they have made a mistake, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) is not happy with the explanation given and is seeking more details from the company. It is good that they have apologised and admitted what they did was a mistake. But we are not happy with the explanation...it is not adequate, and we are seeking more details, Krishnan had said. Meanwhile, sources had said Meta has told the government that a glitch in its automated content filters caused the removal of Prime Minister Modi's Facebook post for a brief while. According to a Meta spokesperson, the content was removed in error and has since been restored on the platform. IT Ministry sources had said on Tuesday that Meta's explanation to the government, citing a technical glitch in the automated content filters, was ot reasonable, and that the matter was ot settled and done. They further said that if indeed a glitch in the automated system caused the error, then Meta, being a technology company, must hasten to improve its tools. Meta officials, it is learnt, attributed the error to AI-powered automated content filters that were reviewing shared posts and subsequent content that circulated following the original post by the Prime Minister. Sources had said that Meta claimed that its automated filters inadvertently ended up briefly removing the original post itself.

SC rejects J&K plea challenging quashing of FIR against Olympic judge Bilquis Mir

New Delhi, Jul 29: The Supreme Court has dismissed a Jammu and Kashmir administration petition challenging the quashing of an FIR in a corruption case against Bilquis Mir, India's first female judge for kayaking and canoeing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The petition was moved before the apex court challenging the Jammu and Kashmir High Court's last July order quashing the FIR filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) against Mir. The high court had delivered a scathing rebuke to authorities saying it seems that the people at the helm of affairs are leaving no stone unturned in harassing such talented people. The Jammu and Kashmir administration had moved the top court requesting for condoning delay in filing the appeal against the high court order and exemption from filing a certified copy of the judgment. While condoning the delay in challenging the high court order, a division bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi dismissed the petition on merits. Having heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, we are not inclined to entertain this petition. Hence, the special leave petition stands dismissed, the order dated July 27 said. In the strongly-worded 20-page order last year, Justice Sanjay Dhar of Jammu and Kashmir High Court had said it was alarmed to note that the ACB has even tried to go into the issue as to whether the answer scripts of Mir in her graduate examination have been properly evaluated by the examiners. This attitude of ACB clearly smacks of wreaking vengeance upon the petitioner (Mir). The present case appears to be nothing but a witch-hunt launched against the petitioner by vested interests, the court had said. Invoking Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which deals with the inherent powers of the high court to prevent the abuse of the legal process and to secure the ends of justice, the court said the continuance of criminal proceedings against Mir in these circumstances would be nothing ut an abuse of process of law and quashed the FIR. Justice Dhar, in his judgement, had referred to a February 16, 2024, letter from vice president of Indian Olympic Association to the chief secretary highlighting the achievements of the petitioner by conveying that selection of Mir to officiate at the Olympics is a matter of pride for the country as a whole and Jammu and Kashmir in particular. The court had also referred to the communication that it is a celebration and triumph for all women of India that she has achieved what no one else has in over a hundred years of the Olympics. Coming down heavily on authorities, the court had said this country has produced very few sports personalities and coaches of the level of Mir and instead of honouring them and celebrating their achievements, it seems that the people at helm of affairs are leaving no stone unturned in harassing such talented people. No surprise that even after more than 75 years of Independence, this country has failed to develop a sporting culture, as a consequence whereof, we have failed to produce sportsmen/women of international standards in proportion to our population, it had said. The court had said the attitude of ACB in criminalising non-acquisition of a technical qualification by Mir speaks volumes about the manner in which we are treating our sporting heroes.

Rajnath launches India's 1st military medicine facility to bolster defences against 'emerging threats'

New Delhi, Jul 29: The threat of weapons of mass destruction persists in the current era, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday, as he inaugurated the country's first academic and operational facility exclusively for military medicine. The defence minister virtually inaugurated the Department of Military Medicine at the Command Hospital (Central Command) in Lucknow, asserting it will serve as a hub for research and development, preparing the nation to deal with emerging threats. Highlighting the growing importance of military medicine, Singh said the discipline studies the physical and mental stresses on soldiers during combat situations. Our soldiers are deployed in some of the world's most complex regions and harshest climates, exposed to diverse challenges. This new department will develop medical protocols tailored for these operational environments, he said. The defence minister emphasised that alongside traditional weaponry, the threat of weapons of mass destruction persists in the current era. In such a situation, the department will serve as a hub for research and development, equipping the nation to deal with emerging threats arising out of the rapid technologies advancements, he said. As the world's largest democracy and a responsible power, India is one of the largest military contributors to United Nations' peacekeeping missions, and at the forefront of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations far beyond national borders, the defence ministry said. The Department of Military Medicine will prove invaluable in enhancing expertise in disaster response, field hospital deployment, mass casualty management and epidemic control, it added. The newly-established department has been conceived as a centre of excellence in military medicine and will serve as the principal academic, research and doctrinal hub for Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS). It will provide structured education and training in military and operational medicine, facilitate postgraduate programmes in domains such as combat medicine, combat surgery and trauma care, and promote indigenous research tailored to India's operational requirements, the defence ministry said in a statement. Singh expressed hope that the department will act as a training facility for young doctors of the Army Medical Corps in battlefield healthcare and advanced life support. The department will open up a new career pathway for young medical professionals. Students will now be able to pursue super-specialisation in military medicine. This will not only enhance intellectual capital within the military, but also elevate India's stature in medical research on the international stage, he added. The Department of Military Medicine aims to enhance combat medical readiness, advancing research, developing indigenous doctrines and creating specialised expertise for future battlefields and humanitarian contingencies. Established under the aegis of the Directorate General of Medical Services (Army), it marks a significant step in strengthening the operational medical preparedness of the AFMS, the ministry statement said. In his address, Singh emphasised that while economic and social development are essential aspects of nation-building, the fundamental basis of any nation's sovereignty and progress rests on the strength and morale of its military. He asserted that the establishment of the Department of Military Medicine reflects a evolutionary shift in the country defence capabilities, exuding confidence that the newly-established facility would strengthen national security by ensuring advanced medical support for the troops, while reinforcing their confidence that that they would receive timely care during operations. Underscoring the critical need for preventive healthcare, Singh asserted that it should be viewed as the first line of defence. He called for developing a system that can identify and mitigate health risks at early stages through disease surveillance, vaccination, sanitation, nutrition, physical fitness, occupational health and regular health screenings. Preventive healthcare is directly linked to combat readiness and national security. We can leverage technologies such as AI, wearable devices, predictive analytics, and advanced diagnostics to enhance real-time monitoring of soldiers health and the early identification of potential health risks, he said. The department will focus on key disciplines including military trauma and damage control, combat psychiatry and resilience, environmental and operational medicine, military medical logistics, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNe) medical response, emergency medicine and critical care, disaster medicine and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) as well as research, audit and data analytics, the ministry said. It will also foster innovation in technology-enabled battlefield medicine, simulation-based training, telemedicine, prolonged field care and medical decision support, it said. The department will be developed in a phased manner, with the initial phase focusing on establishment and commencement of academic programmes, followed by creation of centres of excellence in HADR and CBRNe medicine, it added.

Delhi Police registers FIR over abusive posts against PM, seeks X account details

New Delhi, Jul 29: Delhi Police has registered an FIR against several social media handles for allegedly posting derogatory, malicious and defamatory content targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought complete details of account holders from X, official sources said on Wednesday. The case was registered by the Special Cell's Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit, which also issued notices to X and directed it to remove or disable access to identified posts and preserve all related electronic records for investigation, the sources said. X, formerly Twitter, has been directed to remove or disable access to the content within three hours of receiving the notices while ensuring that all relevant data, logs and subscriber information are preserved, they said. The FIR against seven to eight handles has been filed under Sections 351(3) (criminal intimidation), 353(2) (circulating false information, rumours, or alarming news-including via electronic media) and 356(2) (whoever defames another person) of the BNS. The case follows a complaint alleging that objectionable content aimed at constitutional authorities was being circulated on the social media platform. Some social media posts under scrutiny were uploaded during and after the July 20 Sansad Chalo protests spearheaded by the Cockroach Janta Party in which abusive language was used against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and security personnel. During the clashes at the protest, at least 65 protesters and over 200 police personnel sustained injuries, officials maintain. The notices to X, under the relevant provision of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), seek complete subscriber information of the accounts, including names, addresses, contact details, email IDs, and login and logout records with date and time stamps. Police has also sought any additional information that may assist the investigation and asked the platform to preserve the relevant data for evidentiary purposes, he added. According to the notices, the complaint alleges that derogatory, malicious and defamatory content was circulated on X targeting constitutional functionaries. Investigators are examining whether the posts attract offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and other applicable provisions of law, the source said. In a parallel exercise, the IFSO issued Intimation to Intermediary for Disabling Access to Unlawful Information notices under the rules of the IT Act, Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules, 2021, directing X to disable access to several identified URLs, according to one of the notices. The notices state that the content hosted on the platform allegedly contained false, manipulated and objectionable material intended to defame public personalities. One notice refers to an FIR registered by the Special Cell under various sections and their sub-sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, alleging that circulation of the content had caused serious harm to the reputation, dignity and public image of the prime minister and had the potential to disturb public order and fuel unnecessary controversy, the sources said. Police said the investigation is underway and further action will be taken based on the digital evidence and information received from the social media platform.
