Claim: Government is surveilling social media platforms to take legal action against users for politically motivated posts.
Fact-check: No, the ECI did not announce plans to prosecute people for social media posts under the Model Code of Conduct - FACTLY
Verdict: model code of conduct  comprises a set of guidelines issued to regulate the conduct of political parties and candidates. it does not include directives for monitoring the social media activities of citizens, nor does it suggest any form of prosecution. importantly, the mcc lacks statutory support. hence the claim made in the post is false.
