U.P. Govt sets up IT labs for Social Media check

Realising that social media with its massive reach and lightning speed has the potential "to affect law and order", especially in sensitive areas, Akhilesh Yadav government is setting up two "laboratories" to be manned by police for monitoring content and preventing any trouble. These labs will monitor activities on social media sites - Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter - and though it will not be able to block the posts, it will enable the law enforcement agency to study content and counter them before any damage is done.
