Srinagar: As the Israel-Palestine war persists, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has ramped up its vigil on social media platforms to prevent any “misuse.”
Sources said that the police have initiated various measures to oversee online activities in the region, including the tracking of posts, comments, and messages that may “incite violence or spread false information.”
However the Police sources also assured that their monitoring efforts will be in line with established legal frameworks and respect the rights and privacy.
“Our focus is on monitoring accounts with questionable credentials and swiftly responding to potential threats in order to maintain stability in the region. The conflict in the Middle East has led to concerns about the possible spillover of violence into other regions,” a source within the Police department said.
“In response to these concerns, the police have been meticulously monitoring social media channels, where various actors are disseminating propaganda and those activities could incite violence,” he said, adding that doubtful credentials of some accounts have raised suspicions, prompting police to keep a watchful eye.
“The region has been steadily progressing towards peace, and these efforts are intended to ensure that it continues on this path,” he added.
