In an effort to intensify restrictions on social media users, Indian police have been given free access to track accounts of all Kashmiris in the name of monitoring anti-India activities.
Police claimed to have secured direct cooperation from social media giants, including WhatsApp, X, Snapchat, Instagram, Telegram and TikTok. This collaboration has granted the authorities access to information concerning those who “exploit these platforms to spread anti-India sentiment”, the police said. Even teenagers, who are members of various Telegram groups, are under surveillance, said a police official.—KMS
