Social media site Twitter on 23 August 2012 banned six accounts similar in appearance to the Prime Minister's Office account. The move by twitter came after the Department of Information Technology served an ultimatum to the social media site for failing to block the offending and inflammatory web pages. Government has already ordered blocking of 310 webpages where morphed and inflammatory contents were uploaded with the aim to incite disturbance in the country.
Earlier, the government issued guidelines for its departments using social media networks asking them not to post confidential information and unverified facts.
In the meantime, after checking the use of SMSes to prevent spreading of rumours which had led to mass exodus of north eastern people from certain states, the government has increased the number of SMSes to 20 per day with immediate effect. The other conditions will remain the same.
