The Information Technology Ministry has taken action against some Twitter and YouTube channels and handles. According to reports, he has been charged with publishing inflammatory material related to the phony cabinet meeting. According to reports, the government took these steps in response to a complaint filed by junior minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The government also ordered the blocking of a large number of YouTube channels in December of last year.
The ministry has taken action against 73 Twitter handles, four YouTube channels, and one Instagram game. According to the report, these handles are associated with Pakistan. In addition, information was provided, and a complaint was filed by Minister Chandrasekhar. The video was first shared on Chandrasekhar’s Twitter account, where a user asked him to "take action against a very violent video showing the PM."
According to Chandrasekhar, the 'fake and violent' video has been in the public domain since December 2020. In response to the user's request, the minister stated that work on it has begun. Later, he stated that the Task Force on Safe and Trusted Internet was working on the issue. "Handles that were attempting to share fake/inflammatory content on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram have been blocked," Chandrashekhar stated. The owners have been found.

According to news published on December 21, 2021, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting stated that it has ordered the blocking of 20 YouTube channels and two websites as part of a coordinated effort with intelligence agencies because they are involved in anti-India propaganda and were spreading fake news. The ministry issued two orders on Monday, one directing YouTube to block 20 channels and the other directing YouTube to block two news websites.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said in a statement on Tuesday, "The channel and website belong to a coordinated propaganda network operating from Pakistan and were spreading fake news about various sensitive subjects related to India."
