The Centre on Thursday ordered Twitter and other social media platforms not to share a viral video of two Manipuri women being paraded naked.
The Centre also asked to social media platform to follow the government direction and warned them to take action if they failed to do so.
Some links have been shared with social media companies to help them take down the video as it could further disrupt the law-and-order situation in the state,” a senior government official said.
The Centre has powers to issue content takedown orders to social media companies under Section 69 (A) of the Information Technology Act.
