(Edited by Prof (Dr.) Nuzhat Parveen Khan and Pawan Kumar; published by
Bloomsbury in October 2022)
We are living in the world of internet, and it has become sine quo non for our lives. Digital and
technological advancements have pros as well as cons. There has always been a debate on
social media and content regulations around the world. Along with social media, fake news has
also prospered, and many developing and developed countries have outlawed or in the process
of passing legislations to regulate social media, content regulation, protection of intellectual
property and use of technology in a way so as to benefit all.
In this global age, it is required to have a coherent and internationally acceptable legal
framework to curb the spread of fake news within and across countries. The fact that the safe
harbour immunity is available to internet intermediaries and their obligation to act on such fake
news arises only upon their knowledge of the same, makes the problem tricky. Therefore, while
making any attempt to curb the menace of fake news, the huge silos of data being generated by
users necessitate the use of artificial intelligence. The world has seen the impact of Cambridge
Analytica and other organisations in changing the political dimensions in different countries.
