This advisory follows protests demanding the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation. Meanwhile, social media platforms like YouTube are adapting policies to prioritize original content, impacting content creators and clipping agencies. Media experts emphasize the need for balanced journalism and adapting content to platform-specific dynamics amid rising public anger and dissent.
