'It's important to introduce social media ethics': State Minister

COLOMBO (News 1st): It is important to introduce ethics for social media usage, Shehan Semasinghe, the State Minister of Samurdhi, Household Economy, Micro Finance, Self Employment, and Business Development said.  He pointed out that social media is being used to circulate misinformation. "Certain people have taken the lead in tarnishing Sri Lanka's reputation with regard to Human Rights, every time the Geneva Human Rights Council session is there. This is because they cannot stand the revival of a collapsed economy," State Minister Semasinghe emphasized. Thereby, he highlighted the need to introduce social media ethics, since the use of social media for personal gains may negatively impact the country on the diplomatic front. He shared these remarks at an event held in Anuradhapura.
