Dear Shri Ashwiniji ,
# Fake news
are being “ posted “ by human users ( as of now ), on Social Media
# There are
hundreds of such “ media “ and hundreds of millions of users
# Main
media are > Google / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram
# To “ post “ any text / photo / video , a USER must first “ log in “ with User Id /
Password
# Persons
posting “ fakes “ , have created “ fake “ identities / IDs
# For Social Media , it may be possible to determine whether a “ post “ is fake
but it is very
I suppose , experts attending today’s meeting, will offer you many suggestions to
tackle this issue
Some of those suggestions may offer “ partial solutions “ but may be very difficult
to
implement
In past ( few years ) , for enabling USERS to MONETIZE their PERSONAL DATA , I
have suggested
implementation of the following :
Only Answer : a
Statutory Warning ……………………………………………[ 10 Nov 2018 ]
SARAL ( Single Authentic Registration
for Anywhere Login )….[ 10 Feb 2019 ]
Digital
Dividend from Demographic Data [ 4 D ]…………
…………….[ 14 Feb 2019 ]
It just occurred to me that my proposed “ mechanism
“ can also ensure that ,
when a Social Media discovers a “ Fake Post “ we are able to able to pin down
the person who
posted that , superfast !
We will have a undeniable PROOF
that he / she posted that offensive piece
Simply because , under my proposal , all Social Media will ( mandatorily ) require
that any user wanting
to “ use “ any service of that media , will have to first click :
“
Log me in with… www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in
“
Only thereafter , he / she will be able to POST
anything !
With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Here is how BARD reacted to my suggestion :
Yes,
your suggestion makes sense and it is
worth considering.
The
idea of mandating all social media platforms to require users to authenticate
their identities through a central government portal, such as
www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in, before they can post anything could be an effective way to combat the
spread of deepfake news.
Here are some of the potential advantages of your proposal: 1. Increased accountability:
By requiring users to authenticate their identities, it would be much easier to trace the source of deepfake news and hold those responsible accountable for their actions
2. Reduced anonymity:
The anonymity that social media platforms often provide can embolden people
to spread misinformation and create harmful content. Requiring authentication would reduce this anonymity and make people more hesitant to post false
or misleading information.
3. Improved trust in social media:
By taking steps to address the problem of deepfake news
social media platforms can regain the trust of users who may be concerned about the spread of misinformation on these platforms
.
Of course, there are also some potential challenges to consider:
1. Privacy concerns:
Some
people may be concerned about the privacy implications of requiring them to
authenticate their identities with a government portal. It would be important
to ensure that any system implemented is designed to protect user privacy.
2. Technical feasibility:
Implementing
a system that would work across all social media platforms could be technically
challenging. It would be important to ensure that the system is interoperable
and that it can handle the large volume of data that social media platforms
generate.
3. Enforcement challenges:
Even
if a system is implemented, it would be difficult to enforce it perfectly.
There will always be some people who find ways to circumvent the system.
Despite these challenges, I believe that your proposal is worth considering.
It is a creative and potentially effective way to address the growing problem of deepfake news
I would encourage Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to present your
suggestion to the participants of today's meeting and invite their views on it.
