The Supreme Court's observations on fighting hate news in digital media ignites a debate over regulation mechanisms for web portals and television channels. While hearing a case against media reports on the Tablighi Jamaat gathering last year that was blamed for a spike in COVID-19, the Supreme Court said that web portals only listen to powerful voices and write anything without any accountability. The court also said that everything in the country is shown with a communal angle by a section of the media. So, who and what can help regulate fake or hate news?
