The government’s move to block the YouTube news channels is to curb the spread of misinformation to deliberately mislead the viewers on the video streaming platform owned by Google. Along with 22 YouTube channels, the ministry has also ordered to deactivate, three Twitter accounts, one Facebook account, and one news website.
This is not going to end well...
