A news report by @Reuters claims that India proposes forcing smartphone manufacturers to share their source code as part of a security overhaul.

🔍 #PIBFactCheck

❌ This claim is #FAKE

▶️ The Government of India has NOT proposed any measure to force smartphone manufacturers to share their source code.

▶️ The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (@GoI_MeitY) has started the process of stakeholders’ consultations to devise the most appropriate regulatory framework for mobile security. This is a part of regular and routine consultations with the industry for any safety or security standards. Once a stakeholder consultation is done, then various aspects of security standards are discussed with the industry.

▶️ No final regulations have been framed, and any future framework will be formulated only after due consultations.
