The Bihar government has created four categories of social media and web media on the basis of the number of followers on social media platforms. If any media listed under this manual broadcasts material that is anti-national, indecent, anti-social or promotes communal hatred or is contrary to the norms of government messages or against the guidelines of the Press Council of India, then there is a provision for de-listing or blacklisting of such media.
