I again request the GoI. As these protests are resolved, India must:
- Ban social media for under 13
- Moderate social media for under 18
- Regulate social media companies
- Mandate a reporting tool under every post to GoI
- Setup a SM/M monitoring & response cell
- Study & research social media trends & Algo
- Take up propaganda on state media with countries
- Take up anti-Indian SM psyops with partners
- Monitor and control "finfluencers" farms
- Start units that can counter the infowar on India
And I hope India is using the current opportunity to study social media operations, organization, and algorithmic warfare of the adversaries on India.
To take the right corrective measures soon, understanding that adversaries and anti-india cabal have infiltrated SM companies with insiders.
So simple ad-hoc solutions like MPs, or even cyber armies, posting our narrative on Insta now is going to solve little, as algorithm will still suppress one side and amplify the other.

@aravind What are your sources? Which books do you read? How do you predict geopolitical events so well? Recommend some resources so we can also go deeper.
@MeghUpdates Please don't cut the starting part of the clash while uploading this video.

A suggestion if it's not already being done. One thing India can do now in infowar is:
Talk to some small countries,
- who run globally influential state media,
- but at home run dictatorships,
- do not allow any protests,
- and if there are protests crush them brutally
To not publish any fake news on protests in India
To not create one sided news of "police violence"
To not act as DS media working for some powers
To not let their state media be used for anti-India and subversive propaganda against India
It can be done in Delhi calling their relevant people to MEA. Or taken up by India's embassies in respective countries. I'm sure govt knows how to do it best.
Because we can clearly see the state media of many countries, big and small, seem fully infiltrated by India's adversaries and are publishing blatantly fake news on India and do continuous negative coverage of India.
This is something I had been pointing to for years on this platform. But OpSindoor time, a year ago, was the wake up call when everyone in India saw the level of infiltration and influence India's adversaries had on every global media.
And on these current protests, it pains to see these state media from even small nations do a one-sided coverage and publish blatantly fake news of "protests not being allowed", "brutal crackdown", "no press freedom", etc.
Now, if India doesn't even ask small dictatorial countries, who in their own nations never allow protests and crackdown with an iron hand on any dissent, how will it take on the state media of larger democracies?
If not already done, India must at the least ask them nicely. Point to them the dynamics of the protests, the anarchy being unleashed, show them the biased coverage, and just request them to be fair in coverage and not allow their media to act as agents of DS.
I am sure they will oblige. I do not think their govts are actively planning anything against India. But their state media all seem to be.
If they won't take action and prove their state backs such propaganda against India, India can gently remind them that as a $4.5 trillion economy, a military power, a country that can rapidly build capabilities to do infowar itself, has options.
Also, I believe this is the right time to set up a social media & media monitoring, research, and rapid response cell (SMM cell) if not already done.
And also India needs to mandate SM companies to provide a reporting tool for every piece of content that helps Indians directly submit reports to this SMM cell's database for surfacing intel and taking action.
